CUMS embarks upon its 167th season with a

particular sense of anticipation.

In February we welcomed the Cambridge UniversityChamber Orchestra to the CUMS family. CUCO has

long been a magnificent musical flagship for Cambridge:

its performances are highlights of the University’s

musical year, and we are thrilled to feature them as part

of our season for the first time.

A few months later we announced the appointment of

Martin Yates, ‘one of the most exciting and versatile

British conductors of his generation’ in the words of The

Times, as Principal Conductor of CUMS I. Martin’s debut

on 30 October, which includes the world premiere of

Arnold Bax’s Symphonic Serenade, is the beginning of our

association which will also see him mentoring our student

conductors and strengthening our orchestral programme

on an ongoing basis.

West Road Concert Hall will be the place to be on

Tuesday lunchtimes this year for lovers of chamber

music. The Cambridge University Lunchtime Concerts(admission free!) are being launched to showcase the

crème de la crème of the University’s musical talent.

Under Stephen Cleobury’s leadership the CUMSChorus goes from strength to strength. Our partnership

with the Philharmonia Orchestra and Concerts at King’s

continues in February with a charity performance in aid

of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, and in November we perform

for the first time with the East Anglia Chamber

Orchestra in Handel’s Judas Maccabaeus.

Our Great Conductors series continues in January

with Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius under Sir RichardArmstrong. Libor Pesek, Conductor Emeritus of the

Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, takes up the

baton in March to conduct CUMS I in a programme of

Smetana, Janácek and Dvorák.

The Cambridge University Wind Orchestramaintains its winning streak, with four performances

including the ever-popular concert for schools and a joint

concert with the Oxford University Wind Orchestra.

CUMS II will perform three concerts, the dates of which

may be found on pages 11, 16 and 18.

None of this work would be possible without financial

support, and I extend my grateful thanks to our many

supporters for their ongoing generosity. But this

programme stands most of all as testament to the

talented Cambridge musicians – well over 500 of them! –

who will perform as part of it. The University’s musical

life is on exceptional form: I hope you will join me in

enjoying it on many occasions in the year ahead.

Cambridge University Musical Society

CUMS is one of the oldest and most distinguished

university music societies in the world. It offers a world-

class musical education for members of the University and

local residents, nurturing the great musicians of the future

and providing performing opportunities for over 500

Cambridge musicians every year.

The Society has played a pivotal role in British musical

life for almost 170 years. It has educated such luminaries

as Sir Andrew Davis, Sir Mark Elder, Sir John Eliot

Gardiner, Edward Gardner, Christopher Hogwood and

Robin Ticciati, has given world or UK premieres of works

by Brahms, Holloway, Lutoslawski, Maxwell Davies,

Rutter, Saxton and Vaughan Williams, and has exposed

successive generations of Cambridge musicians to visiting

conductors and soloists including Britten, Dvorak, Kodaly,

Menuhin and Tchaikovsky. Since the 1870s, CUMS has

enjoyed the leadership of several of Britain’s greatest

musicians, including Sir Charles Villiers Stanford, Sir

David Willcocks, Sir Philip Ledger, and – from 1983–2009

– Stephen Cleobury.

In 2009 Stephen Cleobury assumed the new role of

Chorus Director, and Sir Roger Norrington was appointed

as Principal Guest Conductor. Martin Yates, ‘one of the

most exciting and versatile British conductors of his

generation’ in the words of The Times, recently joined the

team as Orchestra Director; and a Great Conductors Series

was launched last year with the objective of exposing

CUMS members to a succession of world-class visiting

conductors.

In February 2010 CUMS entered another new phase of

its development when it merged with the Cambridge

University Chamber Orchestra and Cambridge University

Music Club. This season we launch the Cambridge

University Lunchtime Concerts – a new series of weekly

chamber recitals at West Road Concert Hall showcasing the

University’s finest musical talent. CUMS continues to

provide opportunities for the University’s finest student

soloists and conductors by awarding conducting scholarships

and concerto prizes, and it actively encourages new music by

running a composition competition and premiering at least

one new work each year.

Recent highlights have included the world premiere of

The Sorceror’s Mirror, a major new CUMS commission

from Sir Peter Maxwell Davies and Sir Andrew Motion, the

opening concert of the 2009 City of London Festival, tours

to Prague and Tuscany, choral concerts with Stephen

Cleobury, the Philharmonia Orchestra and soloists

including Bryn Terfel in Cambridge and at the Royal Albert

Hall, and performances of Mahler’s monumental Symphony

of a Thousand at Ely Cathedral under Stephen Cleobury, of

Britten’s War Requiem at King’s with David Hill, and of

Brahms’ Ein deutsches Requiem with Sir Roger Norrington.
