Cycle of Songs was an Arts Council England funded project commissioned by Cambridge City Council, devised by the award winning Pilot Theatre and Historyworks to mark the Tour de France visit to Cambridge on 7 July 2014.

The project showcased and celebrated the talent and diversity of Cambridge and includes many local people of all ages sharing their voice and celebrating the city in song. Nine pieces were commissioned from a wide range of composers and poets, inspired by historical research & based on words from original sources of fascinating & quirky stories at iconic locations along the Tour’s route in Cambridge.

The songs were all performed by local choirs, musicians and poets to make a free app for Cambridge to leave a lasting digital legacy. For more information and to download the app go to www.cycleofsongs.com.
