Lunchtime concerts

Our regular series of weekly lunchtime concerts is promoted by Anglia Ruskin's Department of Music and Performing Arts. It draws some of the country's finest performers to the university and has become one of the highlights of Cambridge's musical calendar.
The series is generously supported by the University Arts Council and we are therefore able to offer free admission to all concerts.

We hope to welcome you at these events.
Please visit www.anglia.ac.uk/mpaevents for more information on past, current and future events.
