About Beatitude
Beatitude are a group of friends who have sung with each other in various choirs around Cambridgeshire over the years, and then got together to form Beatitude about 5 or 6 years ago. The group started as a 4, then an 8 and now they have a pool of about 14 singers. Once word got out, people began to ask the group to sing at concerts, church services and at functions. Now, they sing throughout the year at venues in and around Cambridgeshire supporting charities and events that are dear to their hearts. They get on really well as friends and all find that singing together is good for their souls, spirit, and sense of wellbeing!
Programme
The programme will include music by Benjamin Britten, Samuel Barber, Henry Mancini and more.
Exhibition
Megan Rooney: Echoes & Hours
This is the first major solo exhibition in the UK of work by Megan Rooney (b. 1985, South Africa). Her paintings have an irresistible life and energy, renewing the potential of abstraction to embody the richness of the visual world.
Come along and enjoy a special evening opening of the exhibition.
