Saturday 6th July is the start of Brass Bands Week and we are delighted to be performing in the beautiful market town of Saffron Walden. Come hear us in Jubilee Garden (by Waitrose) between 12 and 2pm, or head over next week to listen to our friends at Hadstock Silver Band perform.
Cambridge has been twinned with Heidelberg, a university city in the German state of Baden-Württemberg, since 1957. For over twenty years, CSD has been linked with a Heidelberg wind band, the Orchesterverein Handschuhsheim. The coronavirus pandemic put our exchanges on hold but we were delighted this Easter to once again host our German friends in Cambridge. We look forward to visiting Heidelberg in 2025.
Seit 1957 unterhält Cambridge eine Städtepartnerschaft mit der baden-württembergischen Universitätsstadt Heidelberg. Seit über zwanzig Jahren ist der CSD mit einem Heidelberger Blasorchester, dem Orchesterverein Handschuhsheim, verbunden. Die Coronavirus-Pandemie hat unseren Austausch auf Eis gelegt, aber wir freuten uns, dieses Ostern erneut unsere deutschen Freunde in Cambridge begrüßen zu dürfen. Wir freuen uns auf einen Besuch in Heidelberg im Jahr 2025.

It was a delight to perform to a full St Luke’s Church in our Spring Concert, and we are now loving getting to grips with a whole lot of new summer repertoire! Featuring lots of the band members’ favourites as well as our own tribute to the King’s coronation and Disney’s centenary there will be lots to put a smile on our audience’s faces. Come along to one of our public gigs this summer to hear us!
