JS Bach St Matthew Passion

Easter at King’s performances of JS Bach’s Passions have become an annual highlight of the Cambridge cultural calendar, and in 2019 we share this tradition with the rest of the world. Over two nights, Artist in Residence James Gilchrist leads a sterling cast of soloists in the ‘Great’ St Matthew Passion – a work unparalleled in its ability to evoke the emotional drama of Christ’s betrayal, suffering and crucifixion – recorded for eventual release by King’s College Recordings.

Tickets £45, £35, £25, £15 (concessions available), £5 student-standby via:
King’s College Visitor Centre | 01223 769340 | shop@kings.cam.ac.uk

An autograph manuscript of Jane Austen’s 'Sanditon' has gone on loan to Harewood House in Yorkshire as part of their new exhibition ‘Austen and Turner: A Country House Encounter’. The manuscript was gifted to King’s in 1930 by Jane’s great-great niece Mary Isabella Lefroy, who was the sister-in-law of King's Provost Augustus Austen Leigh (1840-1905). 👉 Learn more about the exhibition and King's surprising Austen connection: external link 📷taken by College Librarian James on his visit to Harewood House #JaneAusten #Sanditon #PrideAndPrejudice #Archives
