Songs of Shakespeare

Friday 21st October 7.30pm
Trinity College Chapel, Cambridge

Join us in Trinity College Chapel for a
wonderful evening of music
inspired by the poetry and songs of the great bard.

Shakespearean song settings
by Purcell, Finzi, Quilter & Gershwin
Gabrielli cello sonata & Fantasia on Greensleeves

Julian will sing alongside his cellist brother Rickman, and they will be accompanied by
distinguished pianist and conductor Stephen Barlow, who, as organ scholar at Trinity College, performed frequently with Rickman as the continuo players for Sir Peter Pears. Stephen himself is no stranger to celebrity as he is
married to national treasure Joanna Lumley.

The three musicians will
be joined by Fiona Godlee (Editor in Chief of the British Medical Journal BMJ) who will provide readings from Shakespeares wealth of plays, poems and sonnets.

All four performers are alumni of Trinity College.

The music will include Shakespeare texts set to music by Roger Quilter, Gerald Finzi, Henry
Purcell, Vaughan Williams, Cole Porter and Gershwin. Cello pieces will include Gabriellis cello sonata and Vaughan Williams Fantasia on Greensleeves.
The concert will take place in the excellent acoustic of Trinity College Chapel and is given in aid
of local charity Elizabeths Legacy of Hope which supports child amputees around the world.
