Music galore!

We have an amazing lineup of local musicians for you to enjoy as you soak up the beauty of the gardens. You can find out where your favourite musicians are performing in your copy of the program. Performance times will be released via social media, the website and our new app a day or two before the event, and will be displayed at the information hub on Histon Green. Programmes go on sale very soon, so look out for the announcement.

Mythopoeic are Katherine Galvin and Jay Monk, young folk singer songwriter multi-instrumentalists. They play mainly their own songs with some music from the tradition and “folked up” interpretations of more contemporary material.

Clare House Clarinets are Sara Morrison, Trish Gallagher, Steph Baughen, Katie Sylvester and Karen Hills. They play classical, ragtime, jazz/swing and folk music.

Cambridge Ten Sing are an informal YMCA-based performing arts group for young people aged 11-18.

Cambridge Sinfonietta is a friendly amateur orchestra based in Cambridge. They mainly play works drawn from the classical repertoire.

The Impingtones are a friendly not-for-profit community choir in Histon and Impington near Cambridge, running since 2016

All performances are, of course, subject to last minute changes, such as the covid situation.
