Poetry at Queens' College, Cambridge, Thursday 2nd March

CAMBRIDGE SERIES POETRY READINGS

PLEASE NOTE: THE VENUE FOR THIS EVENT IS THE OLD HALL, QUEENS' COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE

This is a rare opportunity to hear a night of performances of avant-garde music and sound poetry. Since this could turn out to be an exceptional evening, the Cambridge Series Poetry Reading organisers are - not unnaturally - encouraging as many people as possible to attend.

Thursday March 2:
John Cage _Four6_ (1992)
extract from Cornelius Cardew _Treatise_ (1963-67)
Kurt Schwitters, _Ursonate_ (1922-32)
and other 'sound' poetry.

The event begins promptly at 8pm in the Old Hall, Queens' College, Cambridge. Tickets will be £3 (available on the door) and wine will be served, as usual.

Performers will include:
Sean Bonney (voice), Harry Gilonis (percussion, radio, electrics),
Chris Goode (voice &c.), Clare Lesser (voice), David Lesser (piano),
Katie McClaughry (trumpet), Peter Manson (voice), Kate Newell (oboe),
Josh Robinson ('cello, voice).
Curated by Harry Gilonis and Josh Robinson
