Kellaway Concert: New Works by Nigel Osborne

Thu 13 March 2025

St Catharine's College

As the climax to his residency at Cambridge Faculty of Music and St Catharine’s College, the choirs of St Catharine’s premiere two new commissions by Nigel Osborne.
"Cobblestones" (2025) (SATB) is a choral setting of a poem by Giles Sutherland that captures the tragedy of the lost identity of Ukraine, which has been erased by the brutality of the war.
"Hornbills, Rocks and Riffs" (2025) was composed for Ian Cross on guitar with choral accompaniment and takes as its inspiration the sound of prehistoric rock gongs from Lolui Island in Lake Victoria, Uganda.
The event is presented in association with the Cambridge Music Conference and the Faculty of Music, and is part of the first Carmack Composer Residency.
