Join Cambridge Timeline Choir and Leith Hill Timeline Choir on Saturday 20th July, at St Paul’s Church, Cambridge, for a gutsy parade of beautiful but angry music, medieval to modern, which was written to right the wrong of the world in song!

From Richard the Lionheart’s musical complaint against imprisonment, to renaissance polyphony protesting the execution of martyrs during the wars of religion, to folk songs uncovering the harsh conditions faced by factory workers in the 19th century, Timeline Choir takes on the challenge of summoning up the righteous anger of past songsters, to deliver an emotionally charged as well as beautiful choral programme.

In a mixture of choral performances, solos, small ensembles, and even poetry readings, the Timeline Choir performers musically fight the good fight in an eclectic array of musical styles. You will be both challenged and uplifted by fierce and defiant psalms, abolitionist hymns, troubadour song, heartbreaking folk songs about poverty and exploitation, press gangs, war, and injustice, black humour from the first world war, anthems for universal suffrage, recusant catholic polyphony, environmental protest songs, and music of dissent from the fens.

The performance takes place at 7:30pm, at St Paul’s Church, Hill Road, Cambridge, CB2 1JP. There will be short interval in which refreshments are served. All are welcome!

Tickets will be available from Cambridge Live, from July 5th:
