      Start your Christmas countdown with our musical Advent Calendar of carols, seasonal songs and poems.

We bring you a light-hearted festive treat for your ears with traditional and modern classics, including an occasional twist.

We have pieces by John Rutter, Bob Chilcott, Roderick Williams, Joanna Forbes L’Estrange, John Tavener, Will Todd and John Gardner, amongst others.

 

Serenata is a vibrant choir of 25 experienced female singers, drawn from across East Anglia, who perform music arranged for three or more female voice parts.

Serenata is dedicated to presenting the rich heritage of women’s vocal music in an uncompromising yet approachable fashion.

Directed by their talented conductor Andrew Foxley with sensitive and professional accompaniment from Richard Carr, the singers display a passion for singing and share with their audiences a rich mix of styles and eras of music.

Parkinson’s UK

Parkinson’s disease is the fastest growing neurological condition in the world and currently there is no cure.  Anyone can get Parkinson’s, young or old.

In the UK, around 153,000 people are already living with Parkinson’s. Every hour two more people are diagnosed – around 18,000 a year; 1 in 37 people alive today will be diagnosed with Parkinson’s in their lifetime.

The national charity, Parkinson’s UK, aims to improve services by funding specialist Parkinson’s nurses and therapists and by pushing for integrated multidisciplinary care for everyone.

The Cambridge branch of Parkinson’s UK offers information, advice and support and arranges social gatherings which allow both those living with Parkinson’s and their carers to share their concerns, experiences and anxieties.

Exercise is a crucial element in the management of the condition, and in slowing its progression; alongside Active with Parkinson’s Cambs, eight tailored weekly exercise activities are offered locally.

Members help to raise funds to support the work of the Branch, and to contribute to the ongoing search for a cure.
