Music at Clare was
rather amateurish
when I was up.
How things
have changed!
The Choir broadcasts Evensong live on BBC Radio 3 from Clare College Chapel.
more >The Choir returns to Bunyan Meeting in Bedford for the 'Bedford Sings' Festival in collaboration with Bedford Music Club.
more >The Choir of Clare College is once again thrilled to join forces with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, this time to present 'Henry Purcell: A Celebration', a programme comprised entirely of music by Henry Purcell.
more >This Sunday 5 May 2024, Clare Choir will give a service of Choral Evensong adorned with an ensemble of eight talented instrumentalists. Livestream link here.
more >On Saturday 27 April 2024 at 7:30pm, the Choir of Clare College, directed by Graham Ross, will perform the Monteverdi Vespers of 1610 at St John’s Smith Square, London. Tickets can be bought here.
more >On Sunday 10 March at 6pm, the Choir of Clare College, Cambridge will give a service containing a full performance of John Stainer's The Crucifixion, a magnificent oratorio composed in 1887 relating the Biblical narrative of the Passion and Crucifixion of Jesus. This will replace our usual service of Choral Evensong, and admission is free as always. We hope to see you there!
If you can't wait until then, however, then you need look no further than our CD page, where you can find a wonderful recording of the very same piece from 2004. Whether for yourself or as a gift for someone else, what a great way to celebrate the Easter season! And for full effect, why not purchase the Choir's 2001 recording of Brian Kelly's Crucifixion—the perfect listening to accompany your Passiontide celebrations this year, whatever form they may take. Both discs are available at our online shop for £10.
May you all have a blessed and reflective Lent until then.
