What’s On May – Sept 2013
Welcome to summer at the Corn Exchange. As the temperature begins to warm up so does our programme of entertainment, which in June features a rare chance to see one of the hottest properties in classical music, superstar guitarist, Milos. Following a sell-out concert at London’s Albert Hall, he is joined by the English Chamber Orchestra for a very special evening of music including the most popular guitar concerto of all time, Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez. We have comedy from Jason Manford, a Cambridge Comedy Festival gig headlined by Dylan Moran and music from, amongst others, Eliza Carthy & Jim Moray, Tubular Bells for Two, George Thorogood and Steve Winwood. In September the longest running show of any kind in the history of British theatre comes to Cambridge. We are delighted Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap will be opening at the Corn Exchange as part of a landmark world tour, celebrating 60 years and over 25,000 performances in London’s West End.

Pioneers of the post-punk movement, Joy Division was one of the most influential and iconic British bands ever. In a totally unique, evocative homage the Heritage Orchestra, sound artist Scanner and visual artist Matt Watkins interweave original compositions based on Joy Division songs with stunning projections – a chance to experience once again the band’s unforgettable cutting edge spirit. Our exciting 2013/14 Cambridge Classical Concert Series opens in the autumn and continues to go from strength to strength. This season we’re proud to announce that the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, one of the UK’s most prestigious orchestras, has accepted our invitation to become the venue’s first Orchestra in Residence. Over the next three years we will be working closely with the RPO to bring a wide range of education and engagement projects to the city

Reginald sets out to tour the country again in 2013 with his own unique blend of humour in a brand new show, In The Midst of Crackers.
Seven of the world’s best modern Irish dancers have combined forces to smash boundaries, heralding an awe-inspiring new era in Irish Dance.
A popular guest on many of the UK’s best-loved TV shows including Live At The Apollo and Have I Got News For You, his new tour follows two previous sell-out tours of the UK and the release of his debut stand-up DVD, Reginald D Hunter Live.
‘His presence and intelligence make him one of the most brilliantly unpredictable comics in the country.’ Sunday Times
Dance troupe Prodijig, led by Alan Kenefick, often referred to as the Michael Flatley of his generation, will perform their breathtaking debut show Footstorm. With original music and dance this is a love story which causes conflict between two worlds and tells a tale through a style of Irish dancing never seen before.

Fri 17 May | 7.30pm Tickets £34, £30, £25 £10 (students)
Mercury Music Prize winners Alt-J are carving out their own unique niche in today’s music scene. Originally coming together in Leeds in 2007, the band – named after a keyboard shortcut – now reside in Cambridgeshire and have been receiving widespread praise and critical acclaim along with a dedicated and growing fan base. It is difficult to place them in any genre, but we like to think of them as ‘Boffin Rock!’
Conductor Pavel Kogan Soloist Tatiana Kolesova, piano
Purple Van Man
We all know what white van men think about the world we live in but it’s time to hear a different voice: purple van man’s voice. Filled with gags, opinions, daft observations and some silly voices, this is Sean Lock doing what he does best, spouting inspired jibber jabber as he crosses the country in his purple van. He will make you laugh like a drunken horse. A British Comedy Award winner and regular comedy show panellist, Sean Lock has performed on Live At The Apollo and Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow.
Under 14s must be accompanied by an adult.
Cambridge Classical Concert Series 2012/13
Rimsky-Korsakov Introduction & Three Miracles from Tsar Sultan Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1 Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 6 in B Minor The internationally acclaimed Moscow State Symphony Orchestra ends the 2012/13 Cambridge Classical Concert Season in spectacular fashion. The evening opens with Introduction & Three Miracles from Rimsky-Korsakov’s voluptuous and exotic Tsar Sultan Suite. One of the brightest pianists to emerge from Russia in recent years, soloist Tatiana Kolesova performs Tchaikovsky’s great Piano Concerto No. 1 with verve and brilliance. From its slow, ominous opening, to the turbulent pathos contained within, Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 6 in B Minor (Pathetique) is the composer’s great swan song. The Moscow State Symphony Orchestra, under revered conductor Pavel Kogan, brings this great work powerfully to life.

40th Anniversary Concert Tour Sat 18 May | 7.30pm Tickets £20
Sat 8 Jun | 7.30pm Tickets £21
Mon 17 Jun | 7.30pm Tickets £29.50
A very special double bill from two of the great figures in English folk music, each with an anniversary to celebrate: Eliza Carthy has been recording and touring for twenty one years, Jim Moray has been recording and touring for ten years. And now they want to celebrate to mark these milestones.
Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells is perhaps the most unlikely smash hit record ever to be released. The celtic-folk-rock opus shot to number one around the world in 1973, throwing its young composer into the international spotlight and kick-starting Richard Branson’s Virgin Music empire.
Composer, vocalist, and multi instrumentalist, Steve Winwood has an impressive back catalogue of hits including Valerie, Higher Love and Grammy award winning Back In The High Life and Roll With It.
They will be sharing an all-star ten-piece band featuring many of the leading figures from their careers so far and playing a ‘Best Of’ set each in a spectacular show. In association with
Winners of the 2012 Herald Angel Award at the Edinburgh Fringe, multi-instrumentalists Daniel Holdsworth and Aidan Roberts have arranged the entire score to be played out by just two blokes. In this unique musical feat, the influential masterpiece is brought to life with all its multi-layered madness and subtle beauty intact.
‘Triumphant.’ The Times

Winwood was a key member of The Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, Blind Faith and Go and for more than four decades, has remained a primary figure in Rock ‘n’ Roll, a respected innovator who has helped to create some of the genre’s most celebrated achievements.

Instilled with poetic snapshots of Ian Curtis’ haunting vocals, they interweave original compositions based on songs by the pioneers of the post-punk movement with stunning projections and artwork, reflecting Joy Division’s experimental, literary and artistic expression. The result is a performance suggesting what the world’s most adored ‘art’ band may have looked, sounded and felt like with the limitless possibilities of contemporary technology. A chance to experience once again Joy Division’s unforgettable cutting edge spirit.
‘If Curtis hadn’t died and his band had the opportunity to evolve, you can’t help but wonder if this is the kind of thing they would be doing today.’ The Independent

Featuring an all star cast, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see this masterpiece.
The Mousetrap tells the tale of group of people gathered in a country house cut off by the snow who discover, to their horror, that there is a murderer in their midst. Who can it be? One by one the suspicious characters reveal their sordid pasts until at the last, nerve-shredding moment the identity and the motive are finally revealed. In her own inimitable style, Dame Agatha Christie created an atmosphere of shuddering suspense and a brilliantly intricate plot where murder lurks around every corner.

The Four Seasons by Candlelight
Madeleine Peyroux
A sublime programme of 18th Century classics performed in an evocative candle-lit style setting, featuring the Mozart Festival Orchestra in full 18th Century costume.
Sat 23 Nov | 7.30pm Tickets £25 ‘The only thing that matters is the song,’ says singer-songwriter Madeleine Peyroux. That conviction along with a ‘one of a kind’ voice, has carried her from busking on the streets of Paris, all the way to mainstream recognition. Through intensely distinctive renditions of old classics and modern tunes by the likes of Leonard Cohen and The Beatles, Peyroux has proved to be an uncannily insightful ‘interpreter’ with her consistently impeccable choice of material. Following her forthcoming sell-out season at Ronnie Scott’s, Madeleine’s new CD, The Blue Room, sees the genre-blending singer reworking some landmark musical gems. The result is a terrific recording - a moving and sophisticated album that pays tribute to the spirit of Ray Charles and his classic 1962 album Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music. ‘Simply phenomenal.’ whatsonstage
