Experience English Chamber Orchestra live on September 10th

The English Chamber Orchestra will perform at Trinity College Chapel, Cambridge on September 10, 2026. The English Chamber Orchestra is renowned for its versatile and historically informed performances spanning a broad repertoire, from Baroque and Classical periods through to contemporary works. Established in 1967 by Colin Lawson, the orchestra is known for its flexible instrumentation and collaborative approach, frequently working with leading soloists across diverse musical genres. It maintains a strong recording history and international touring schedule.

Trinity College Chapel is considered one of the finest examples of Perpendicular Gothic architecture in England. Construction began in 1508 under the direction of Reginald Audley, and was completed over several decades. The Chapel’s interior is notable for its fan vaulting, large windows, and intricate wood carvings. It serves as both a functioning religious space for Trinity College – founded by Henry VIII in 1546 – and a venue for musical performances due to its exceptional acoustics. The Chapel has a long tradition of choral music, being particularly associated with the choir of men and boys of Trinity College, but also hosts orchestral concerts periodically. Its architectural significance contributes to its status as a landmark within Cambridge University and beyond.
