Music in Cambridge
The Cambridge Philharmonic is not the only musical organisation in Cambridge – far from it! There is a huge amount of music-making in the Cambridge area, and many of our members are also involved in other groups.Below are links to some of the other local music-makers. Please contact us if you would like us to include a link to your group. We would be particularly pleased to establish “reciprocal” links with any like-minded organisations.
- Cambridge Summer Music Festival has grown since 1979 into a popular annual event. This year, they are also running a fundraising scheme called the “No-show Prom”.
- Cambridge University Opera Society (CUOS): performs classical and modern opera.
- Cambridge University Musical Society (CUMS): large chorus and three orchestras, regularly performing a wide range of the concert repertoire.
- Cambridge Operatic Society (CaOS): local group of singers, annually putting on light opera at the Arts Theatre.
- Cambridge Holiday Orchestra: Established over 50 years ago, runs a wide range of musical activities, including bands, choirs and a full orchestra for young musicians of all abilities of school age from the age of 7.
