Cambridge University Press reception starts tour

The iconic image of King's College Chapel is one we Cambridge residents get used to seeing in many contexts. But it was still a surprise to see it at the Intercontinental Hotel in Sao Paulo, displayed behind the barman. Cambridge University Press is Britten Sinfonia's most substantial corporate supporter, so the synergy between our tour of South America and CUP's activity here in South America is compelling. The photo of the chapel as one of the centrepiece images at CUP's reception to celebrate their success in the region and the start of Britten Sinfonia's tour was therefore apt. Stephen Bourne, Chief Executive of CUP and a member of Britten Sinfonia's board, hosted the reception with local director Joao Madureira. The 50 guests then went on to the opening concert of Britten Sinfonia's tour.
