Throat-singers of Sacred Altai - AltaiKAI - Workshop

Corinna Moving Tone — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 10:58:11 +0000

Start: 24 Jul 2008 - 19:00

End: 24 Jul 2008 - 20:30

Timezone: Etc/GMT

The music of Altai Kai exudes the energy and mystery of a snow-capped mountainous homeland in which powerful spirits need to be brought on side in order for herders and hunters to survive. By combining kai ('throat-singing' whereby a single performer creates a melody fattened by spectral overtones) and traditional instruments (horse-hair fiddles, lutes, jaw's harps, end-blown pipes and shamanic drum) with their own song-writing, this prize-winning six-piece group evokes the mythology, beliefs and everyday ambience of the sacred 'golden' Altai Mountains of southern Siberia.
The 6 musicians of Altai Kai will be playing at WOMAD and the Royal Opera House as well as providing this workshop in Cambridge.

St Luke's Church Community Centre is just that, a Church which is used for worship jointly by Anglicans and the United Reformed Church. It is also a community centre, used widely by local groups and organisations. The building has rooms which can be hired, along with two kitchens all of which are available to all users. It is the aim of the centre to provide a good value facility which will be used by the local community for education, leisure and fun!

The Church Centre is located near the centre of Cambridge on Victoria Road. There is a car park adjacent to the Church which is available for use by users of the centre.

ST EDMUNDSBURY CATHEDRAL

Music

Music has been offered to God in this corner of Bury St Edmunds for over a thousand years. The monks in the mediaeval Abbey were replaced after its closure in the sixteenth century by choirs of men and boys. Today, that tradition continues at St Edmundsbury Cathedral and has been expanded to include several choirs numbering over 100 young people and nearly 50 adults. Music is the principal means of expressing the worship of God in this holy place.

Histon Baptist Church

tomadams — Thu, 01 May 2008 15:55:20 +0000

On April 16th, 1858, a meeting was held in the house of James Burkett to consider the possibility of forming a Baptist church in Histon. No decision was reached and the meeting was adjourned, it was resumed three days later in John Chapman's house, where the offer by James Burkett of a section of his garden for a site on which to erect a Chapel was accepted. It was also agreed at this meeting that services should be held in the Clubroom of the "Rose & Crown" until the new premises were ready for occupation.

The Chapel was opened on September 14th, 1858 on the edge of the village green (now converted to apartments). The first official meeting of members, nineteen in all, appears to have taken place on November 12th of that year, when three deacons were elected by ballot. With the exception of one person, all present at the meeting on April 16th, 1858 were baptised on October 7th, 1858. Thirteen of the nineteen original members forming the Church were baptised on that day, the majority being people in middle life.

In order to form any adequate conception of the courage and faith of the small band of men and women who embarked on the task of building a Baptist Chapel in Histon in 1858, it is necessary to picture the conditions prevailing in the village at that time. The total population over 20 years of age in 1841 was 418, and that of Impington, 138. A very small proportion of the older men and women living in the village could read or write. (Note: No child who had not been christened was allowed to attend Day School in Histon at the time). No one in Histon owned a bicycle until about 15 years after the formation of the Baptist Church. Histon station was built in 1847, nearly a mile away from the then centre of the village.
