Welcome
CALENDAR
Since its completion in 1515, King’s College Chapel has inspired
each new generation. This year we celebrate the 500th
anniversary with a year of exciting concerts and performances.
Henry VI was only 20 years old when he established the College,
but the completion of the Chapel took place long after his death.
He may have imagined the wonder and beauty of the completed
Chapel, but he could never have guessed that it would develop an
international reputation for the highest quality of music both
within the context of liturgy, and in concert performance, over its
first 500 years.
Since its foundation, the Chapel has been an extraordinary gift,
and it has been supported by philanthropy from the very
beginning. It is a strong and defining architectural presence in
Cambridge, elevating thought and encouraging the highest
aspirations in those who study, work and visit.
Within the Chapel, religion and music have developed as some of
the most talented and energetic people of the day have brought
their sensitivity and creativity into dialogue with the space and
the opportunities it offers.
To celebrate the College’s rich musical heritage, each century
from 1515 to the present will have its own performance in the
Concerts programme, drawing together musical and historical
elements that have particular resonance with the Chapel and its
community. Most of the concerts will be curated by a Fellow of
the College or a musician with ties to the College, and many will
feature King’s alumni.
The Chapel is renowned across the world for its remarkable
acoustic properties, but for those who have visited, the play of
light through the great windows is also a remarkable and
constantly changing aspect of its aesthetic. Sound and light are
the life and breath of the Chapel and we celebrate both in
different ways this anniversary year.
We warmly invite you to share and enjoy this
programme of events and join us in a
celebration of this special year.

The magnificent organ is a vital and much loved part of the

organ and the Chapel acoustic. The organ will sound magnificent
in the gifted hands of Thomas Trotter, King’s alumnus and one of
our great organists.
After the 2015 Nine Lessons and Carols service, the organ will fall
silent for 9 months for essential repairs. This concert will raise
money for the organ restoration and repair fund.

Schubert
1815 was a very productive year for both Beethoven and
Schubert. Beethoven composed two cello sonatas and many
songs. In the following year, he composed An die ferne Geliebte,
considered to be the prototype for the song cycle.
Schubert wrote an astonishing number of songs in that year,
including the much admired Der Erlkönig. His An die Musik was
written in 1817 but sums up the spirit of this concert so
beautifully that we have taken the liberty of appropriating it.
Two celebrated Kings’ alumni join the distinguished cellist,
former King’s chorister Guy Johnston, to form an enticing
chamber partnership.
