- A Summer's Evening with the Robinson Choir at the Jockey Club Rooms
- Thursday , 28 June 2012
- Robinson College, Cambridge, was founded by entrepeneur and race-horse owner, Sir David Robinson. For eight seasons between 1968 and 1975 Sir David consistently headed the owners list of individual winners and races. Although leading owner in terms of prize money only once (in 1969), he eventually won a total of 997 races. In the ten years from 1968 Sir David made a great contribution to British racing, at his peak having 120 horses in training. He was not only a great entrepreneur, but also a self-effacing philanthropist who gave all his money away and founded a college in his home town in record time. That College was Robinson College, established in the University of Cambridge with the largest benefaction the University had, at that time, ever received.
Today, Robinson’s choir is directed by the British composer, Jeremy Thurlow (Fellow in Music at Robinson) and guest conducted by the renowned choral director, Tim Brown.
Robinson College and the Jockey Club Rooms are pleased to present Robinson College Choir for an evening of wonderful music in a magnificent setting on 28 June 2012.
The Jockey Club Rooms are a splendid and historic venue in the heart of the racing community of Newmarket and have only recently opened their doors to non-members for select events. The beautiful house houses a wonderful collection of racing art, including classic racing and horse artists such as Stubbs. This is a very special opportunity to hear the wonderful music of Robinson's choir in this stunning setting.
