2011 Choral Singing in Verviers


I am a former choral scholar of King's College and work has brought me to

Belgium.  My wife is a professional musician who has started a church choir

in Verviers where we put on music which, by Belgian Standards, is very

ambitious.  Recent repertoire has included:


  1. ‣Haydn - Missa Sancti Johannis de Deo

  2. ‣Mozart - Mass K192

  3. ‣Mozart - Ave Verum Corpus

  4. ‣Byrd - Mass for four voices

  5. ‣Allegri - Miserere

  6. ‣Tallis - Lamentations

  7. ‣Pergolesi - Stabat Mater

  8. ‣Bach - Crucifixus from B minor Mass

  9. ‣Stanford - Blessed be the God and Father

  10. ‣Palestrina - Missa Aeterna Christi Munera

  11. ‣Vittoria - Missa O quam gloriosum

  12. ‣Stanford in G - Magnificat

  13. ‣Rachmaninov - Ave Maria

Etc.


Any Cantabs who have sung in a collegiate choir would be most welcome to join us.  We put on a choral Mass about six times a year for the 11.00 am

Mass on Sunday morning (Anglicans welcome) preceded by an hour's rehearsal. We can promise you a good sing followed by lunch.


If you would like to be informed of future events please let me (

julian.todd@live.be ) or my wife ( margie.todd@gmail.com ) know.


Many thanks,

Members’ Noticeboard

The Cambridge Society of Belgium was inaugurated on 28th January 1994. It exists to enable those who live in Belgium and have connections with the University, to maintain a vibrant like-minded community, to resist the propensity of urban living to scatter, isolate and banalise. In practice, most events occur in and around Brussels.


Were you at Cambridge?

We’d love to meet you! Please announce yourself to Caroline Laske.

The Hungarian Ball - 28th January 2012

Dear Oxford and Cambridge Society Members,

Having two Oxonians on the Committee, we have decided it would be fun to get together an Oxbridge table at the Hungarian ball in January. Would you like to come?

The Ball will be on 28 January, in the Concert Noble. Dinner tickets can be booked until 10 January 2011 at www.arcfam.be.  A detailed invitation is attached.

In addition to great music (jazz-trio, violin orchestra, party band), excellent food and drinks (lovely wines from the guest of honour, the city of Balatonfüred), there will be a spectacular fashion show, traditional costumes and the opening waltz choreographed by me.

Do not forget to indicate "Oxbridge table" when booking your tickets.
