Sat 6th Oct: ClimateKeys with Paula Downes (soprano), Clare Bullimore (piano) and Dr Hugh Hunt

Please do join us for the first recital of our Autumn 2018 series!

Our opening recital takes a slightly unusual format, as we'll be joined with ClimateKeys, who are a global phenomenon that uses live music and concerts to encourage discussion and debate about climate change and solutions to global warming. Started in 2017, the movement has already seen dozens of performances and conversations across the world.

Our recital in Cambridge will include performances by Paula Downes and Clare Bullimore, with a selection of vocal and piano works by Andrew Downes. Dr Hugh Hunt (a Reader at Cambridge University Engineering Department and Fellow of Trinity College) will give a talk "Can we refreeze the Arctic" and kick off an audience discussion before we conclude the recital with a final work performed by Paula and Clare.

This promises to be a unique and engaging performance in the beautiful venue of St Clement's. We do hope you are able to join us! The recital begins at 1pm, with free entry to all as always. A retiring collection helps maintain the recital series, and raises funds for the Organ Redevelopment Fund at St Clement's. We look forward to seeing you there!
