Cambridge
This week Paul Gambaccini and Fran Morrison visit the Cambridge Festival.
This beautiful university city is the perfect setting for a varied and exciting festival.
At the Arts Theatre the Cambridge Theatre Company presents The Servant of Two Masters, an Italian spectacle starring Patrick Mower and Elizabeth Estensen. The Cambridge Opera Group performs BRITTEN'S Burning Fiery Furnace by candlelight in nearby Ely Cathedral. In the Fitzwilliam Museum Christopher Hogwood plays pieces from the museum's celebrated collection of early music manuscripts on the harpsichord. And after a nine-year break the folk group Pentangle are coming together again specially for the Cambridge Folk Festival. We talk to them as they rehearse in Suffolk.
These artists and many more give a flavour of the enjoyment and talent to be found in towns and cities all over Britain during the summer months.
