Sounds Green 2018 programme – Finished

The Garden is delighted to host another year of exciting, open-air music from Cambridge Summer Music.

22 October 2018

A weekly celebration of summer and music, Sounds Green is part of the Cambridge Summer Music programme of events. Set on the Garden’s Main Lawn with the Bee Borders as a stunning backdrop, visitors can enjoy an array of live music with family and friends, on a (hopefully) warm and balmy evening. Every Wednesday in July.

The Sounds Green Programme 2018

Wednesday 4 July, 6.15pm
Prime Brass

Talented Cambridge-based ten piece brass ensemble with a strong local following. First established nearly 30 years ago, Prime Brass is well-known for its performances at the lighter end of the musical spectrum and for its popular family concerts.

Wednesday 11 July, 6.15pm
She’Koyokh

She’Koyokh bring together a variety of melodies and intricate rhythms from Bulgaria; traditions from Serbia; Gypsy dances from Romania and soulful Sephardic and klezmer music from Turkey, Macedonia, Poland and Ukraine. They are returning to Sounds Green having previously played in 2016.

Wednesday 18 July, 6.15pm
TG Collective

TG Collective play a mix of hotclub, flamenco, jazz and contemporary classical influences, based around their core guitarists Jamie Fekete and Sam Slater.

Wednesday 25 July, 6.15pm
Afrosamba

Making a welcome return to Sounds Green is the four-piece band Afrosamba. The group encompasses Afro Brazilian Jazz, Samba and Bossa Nova. Joined by seasoned musicians from Mozambique, Brazil and the UK, influences range from João Gilberto’s harmonic complexities and Airto Moreira’s experimental rhythms to the laid-back music of Jorge Ben Jor.

Food and Drink
The Garden Café will be serving food and drink; bar drinks will be served by Thirsty and Jack’s Gelato will also be selling home-made ice-creams on the Main Lawn.

Visitors are also welcome to picnic.
