Champagne Concert 2010

Robinson College Choir and Musicians are excited to host the 2010 Champagne Concert and wish to invite you to join them for a wonderful blend of fine music and fine champagne at Robinson College.

The event will showcase first-class performances from some of the College’s most talented soloists and ensembles, as well as Robinson College’s Chapel Choir, in the stunning setting of the College Chapel. During the forty-minute interval, it will be possible to meet and talk with the performers over champagne and a specially selected menu of canapés in the Hall. The programme consists includes Chopin's Scherzo and Dvorak's Piano Quintet, Debussy's Preludes, Ireland's Greater Love hath no man and pieces from Vaughan Williams sung by the College Choir.

Concerts and recitals at the College are organised by the Robinson College Music Society (RCMS). These performances can vary from solo recitals to small concerts of chamber music or even programmes of full-scale orchestral works. The choir members always enjoy the opportunity to give concert performances and make their distinctive contribution to College life. They also regularly undertake tours abroad, traveling to Hong Kong in the summer of 2009. It was an opportunity to perform with some world class musicians in exciting venues, as well as to promote the College abroad. The Choir has also recorded a CD including Benjamin Britten’s Ceremony of Carols and Rachmaninov’s Vespers in 2008, which will be available to buy after the concert.
