On International Women’s Day (8 March), the Minerva Festival will be holding its main concert in St Giles’ Church at 7.30pm. They will be performing ‘Entr’acte’ by Caroline Shaw and Alice Mary Smith’s Symphony C Minor, followed by the premiere of Mary Offer’s ‘Footprints’, the winning piece of their Composition Competition. There will also be a talk by Professor Susan Rutherford, a visiting research fellow at the Cambridge Music Faculty, about music and International Women’s Day.
There are several Christ's students in the Minerva Festival Orchestra: Claire Watters (viola); Alex Mallard (cello); Mithylan Ganeshwaran (violin); Steve Jullien (oboe; and Louise Wells (flute).
As with the rest of the Minerva Festival events, proceeds from this concert will go to the Cambridge Rape Crisis Centre.
