The Gentlemen of St John’s will perform a lunchtime concert of Christmas music as part of the Cambridge Music Festival in St John’s on Thursday 26th November at 1.10pm. The concert will showcase the breadth of The Gents’ repertoire, with music ranging from 15th century polyphony to arrangements of contemporary Christmas classics. The concert forms part of the festival’s lunchtime series, ‘Food for Thought’ and also acts as the launch concert for The Gents’ new CD, ‘A Gentle Christmas’, recorded in January and released on St John’s College Records. There are several commissions of new music on the disc, notably new arrangements by Christopher Robinson and David Hill, former organists of St John’s and a previously unrecorded piece by Herbert Howells. Much of the music in the concert is included on the disc, copies of which can be bought at the end of the concert. Entry to the concert is free. The Gents are also pleased to work together with The Global Poverty Project (GPP) for the concert. GPP is an educational awareness campaign that seeks to invigorate the global movement to take effective, concerted action on poverty through the delivery of ‘1.4 Billion Reasons’, a presentation about issues of poverty that allows every individual to play a part in eradicating extreme poverty within our lifetimes.
