Join a consort of Continuum singers for a performance of Carlo Gesualdo’s Tenebrae Responsories for Good Friday alongside a performance of Stuart Beer’s Lamentations, written for Wells Cathedral Choir in 2019.
Continuum was founded in 2018 by Harry Guthrie aiming to represent the very best traditions of choral singing. The choir prides itself in offering original and dynamic interpretations of firmly established choral repertoire alongside promoting new commissions and under-performed pieces. Covering repertoire from the Renaissance to the present, Continuum’s singers are drawn from some of the finest choral institutions in the UK with many being current and former members of Trinity and St John’s College Choirs in Cambridge having met whilst at University. Many of the singers have performed with leading professional ensembles including Polyphony, Tenebrae, The Sixteen, The Monteverdi Choir and Voces8. The choir typically comprises eighteen singers.

The historic Round Church (Church of the Holy Sepulchre), constructed around 1130, is the second oldest building in Cambridge. It was extended and restored in the nineteenth century, and today is an evocative space for many different types of performance.
