CU Brass Ensemble at the Painted Church

The Cambridge University Brass Ensemble (CUBE) returns to the Painted Church once again for a Sunday lunchtime recital in a varied programme for all.

Our Place in Space | Even You Song

Sun 31 July 2022

Midsummer Common

Devised by Bettina Furnée and Lucy Sheerman, Even You Song was written using candid responses from twelve couples who were interviewed about taking an extended trip to the moon together. Their answers form the basis of this new libretto, set to music by composer Cheryl Frances-Hoad.

A new Reflection is created for each location, and for this outdoor performance celebrating Our Place in Space, it will be written and delivered by Oliver Jeffers. The evening will be led and introduced by celebrated live artists Hunt & Darton.

Even You Song will be performed by eight professional singers and the organist Joseph Wicks. Directed by Owain Park, the performance will be supported by an intergenerational community choir led by Sam Hayes.

A free printed libretto will be available to audience members, allowing you to take part in interactive elements of the performance.

Get Involved!

We are on a voyage across Cambridge in search of super-star vocalists to join Even You Song's choir. Whether you're a space soprano or a cosmic contralto, we would love to hear from you!
