Join us for this free and un-ticketed concert led by the poet Michael Rosen. The event is open to all to attend. Please arrive promptly at 3.45pm to ensure admittance. At the concert, Michael Rosen will be performing poems from his collection ‘On the Move’ and new specially commissioned poems. School children will also perform songs, readings, poetry, drama and dance pieces all inspired by Michael’s words and story-telling, in empathy with refugees. The civic community concert is organized by Helen Weinstein, Director of HistoryWorks, working with Michael and in partnership with local primary schools, secondary schools, and community colleges. About 3,000 school children have taken part this year. There will be a stall from Roving Books in the Corn Exchange foyer selling books by Michael Rosen. The profits will go to our two nominated refugee charities. Michael will be signing books and offering free selfies at a signing-table for participating families during the rehearsal and for the wider audience after the concert. There will also be stalls from the participating charities, Cambridge Convoy Refugee Action Group (Camcrag) and the Refugee Hardship Fund, with cash donation buckets and card readers. You can donate to Camcrag online or read Cambridge Ethnic Community Forum’s guidance for donating.

Venue: Cambridge Corn Exchange.
