Lunchtime Concerts

Lunchtime Concerts
Mumford Theatre, The
Mar 6: Colin Steele (trumpet) Robert Pettigrew (piano)
Steele's compositions are inspired by Scottish and Irish folk music, but are firmly rooted in the jazz tradition, but what really sets Steele's music apart from other instrumental jazz is its popular appeal that stretches far
beyond the usual jazz audience.

Mar 13: Nick Collins (piano and electronics)
Works for piano and electronics including a solo piano performance of the rarely heard Sonatina by Conlon Nancarrow.

Mar 20: The Chuckerbutty Ocarina Quartet
Blissfully unaware of the limitations of an instrument with a range of just over an octave, the Chuckerbutties take their small clay instruments through a dazzling array
of improbable pieces, played with wit, musicality and occasional bursts of breathtaking speed.

Mar 27: Anglia Ruskin Student Ensembles
A varied programme of ensemble music performed by current Anglia Ruskin music students.

This regular series of weekly lunchtime concerts, which draws some of the country's finest performers to the univeristy, has become one of the highlights of Cambridge's musical calendar.

The Printmakers

The Printmakers
Kettle's Yard
ECM recording artist, Norma Winstone, exquisite lyricist and pioneering innovator of the voice in jazz, is joined by fellow virtuosi for an evening of music that defies categorisation. Brought together here by their collective love of song, these musicians cross the boundaries that traditionally separate jazz, folk music and the contemporary music world.

Nikki Iles and Mike Walker's almost telepathic empathy and energy will be familiar to many and with the addition of the highly creative saxophone player, Mark Lockheart, the repertoire will not only have the distinctive air of English song but will also include originals by band members as well as exploring the relatively uncharted territory of Steve Swallow, Ralph Towner, Joni Mitchell and the poetry of Rupert Brooke. Completing the line up are Steve Watts on Bass - a significant player in so many innovative groups such as Django Bates, Iain Ballamy and Kirk Lightsey -and on drums, American Jeff Williams who has worked extensively with the late Stan Getz, Paul Bley, Joe Lovano and Richie Beirach.
