Continuum | Renewal

Date: Saturday 17 October 2026, 7.30pm
Location: Clare College Chapel, Trinity Lane, Cambridge, CB2 1TL
Booking: via Eventbrite

Performed by Continuum , “Renewal” is a celebration of choral music moving from darkness into light, tracing a journey through stillness, reflection and the gradual return of morning. Renaissance and contemporary works sit side by side in a programme that includes a new Continuum commission by Alexander Hopkins and a recent Continuum commission by Stuart Beer. The concert culminates in the dawn-like radiance of Ēriks Ešenvalds’ Salutation.

The performance forms part of the continuing partnership between Clare Hall and Continuum Choir, bringing outstanding choral music to audiences across Cambridge.
