Selwyn supplied its choir and a number of musicians for a Cambridge University Musical Society concert in King's College Chapel on Saturday January 17th. They were joined by the choirs of Caius, Clare and Jesus Colleges; and the CUMS orchestra was supplemented by members of the University Chamber Orchestra. They performed Dvo?ák's Symphony number 8, and then the demanding "Ein Deutsches Requiem" by Brahms under the direction of Howard Shelley. The event was sold out, and the student musicians received a prolonged ovation from the audience.
Our pictures are of rehearsals for the event, showing some of the Selwyn students alongside their University colleagues. They were taken by our development officer Andrew Flather. Traditionalists should be assured that for the concert itself the chorus wore black tie!
