SUMMER CONCERT AT THE CATHEDRAL BASILICA
SIDNEY SUSSEX COLLEGE CHOIR from Cambridge
Friday, July 10, 2015 at 8 PMNo Tickets. Free Will Offering
Limited FREE Parking
SIDNEY SUSSEX COLLEGE rose from the ruins of the Cambridge Greyfriars in 1596 and has long been a nest forprofessional musicians. Indeed the large chapel that stood on this site in pre Reformation times was the regular venue forUniversity ceremonies and was the venue where a number of early English composers took their degrees, including RobertFayrfax (MusB, 1501; DMus 1504) and Christopher Tye (MusB, 1536). One of the earliest musicians in the College was theRoyalist pamphleteer, author, and violist Roger L’Estrange (1616–1704), whose family were patrons of the composer JohnJenkins. Earlier still, the great Elizabethan composer William Byrd would have been wellknown to the foundress, Lady FrancesSidney, and indeed two very fine elegies by Byrd survive for her nephew, the poet and courtier Sir Philip Sidney. Currentlyresident in the College is Dr Christopher Page (1991), founder and former director of the multiawardwinning Gothic Voices,and Dr David Skinner (2006) who is director of the early music ensemble Alamire, and Sidney’s first Director of Music.
The Choir’s first recording with Obsidian was Thomas Tomkins ‘These Distracted Times’ with Fretwork and Alamire, which wasawarded Editor’s Choice and CD of the Month in the Gramophone. Their most recent was music by Thomas Weelkes, also withFretwork, which was nominated for a Gramophone Award in 2014. The choir has since gone on to record and tour a number ofinnovative programmes, and frequently tours throughout Europe and the USA. The YouTube link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPzNE4mM7c is of a live recording from Souvigny Music Festival,France, last September; the choir can also be found on Spotify.
