CSD Brass Summer Concert: Celebration!

CSD Brass Summer Concert - Celebration!

CSD Brass
Conductor: Christopher Lawrence
Soloists: Andy Kershaw (tuba), Paul Garner (flugel horn), Millie Lihoreau (French horn)

In this very special concert, CSD Brass celebrates the music of composer Rodney Newton on the occasion of his 80th birthday, joined by three soloists: Andy Kershaw (tuba), Paul Garner (flugel horn) and Millie Lihoreau (French horn).

CSD Brass will give the world premiere of a new five-movement suite by Rodney Newton, ‘Gulliver’s Travels’, written especially for the occasion, alongside another work composed for CSD, ‘Cambridge’. The programme includes two of Rodney Newton’s most popular works, his ‘Capriccio’ for tuba and ‘Dimitri’ for flugel horn, together with a new arrangement of his ‘Tripartita’ for French horn.

The grand finale of the concert is Rodney Newton’s ‘Acid Drops’, a medley of three of his ‘Acid Brass’ tracks arranged for the Turner-Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller, including the classic acid house number ‘What Time is Love?’ by KLF.

This summer concert has something for everyone, and is sure to have your feet tapping by the end!

St Luke’s Church makes an ideal concert venue, with its generous proportions creating an excellent acoustic for music. There is on-site parking with designated disabled spaces and easy access into the Church. For those that don’t know St Luke’s, its tall spire is visible the length of Victoria Road and further afield in the Chesterton area of Cambridge.

St Luke’s is a Victorian building which has been extensively updated. It was built in 1884 to serve the rather rural area of ‘New Chesterton’, which was at that time surrounded by fields, allotments and orchards all the way out to Histon. St Luke’s continued to serve the rapidly developing area as the separate new parish of St Luke’s Chesterton. In 1982 St Luke’s Chesterton joined the neighbouring parish of St Giles’ Cambridge and the Parish of the Ascension was formed.
