Lunchtime Recitals at St Clement's
St Clement's is home to a popular recital series, showcasing soloists and chamber groups from across Cambridgeshire and London. There is usually one recital series per academic term, running weekly for 6 to 8 weeks. Recitals are held on Saturday Lunchtimes at 1pm. Recitals are free to enter, lasting up to one hour, with a retiring collection and donations sustaining the series and contributing to the growing fund for redevelopment of the church organ.
