Iain Lee v Radio @ Jacksons Lane
Oct 8 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm

Award winning radio and TV presenter Iain Lee picks some of the most hilarious moments from the history of the wireless.

Why did Nicky Campbell drop himself in it when talking about foxes? What do callers to local radio REALLY think about Mayor Boris Johnson and surely old lady professors know what you can and what you most definitely can’t say on the radio?

Despite appearing on radio (Five Live, Radio 4, XFM, BBC 3 Counties) and TV (The 11 O’Clock Show, This Morning, Big Brothers Bit On The Side) for over fifteen years, this is Iain’s first solo show. Should be a right old laugh.

Liesbeth Allart – Oboe Recital @ Lauderdale House
Jun 1 @ 7:30 pm – 10:00 pm

Talented oboist Liesbeth Allart performs live at Lauderdale House in a celebration of solo repertoire for the oboe.

Book tickets here

In this concert, Liesbeth explores the Oboe’s deeper and more sonorous relations with the Oboe d’Amore and the Cor Anglais. Rarely seen together in a single recital, these instruments first get to display their particular individual qualities in works by CPE BachBenjamin Britten, John Rushby-Smith and Vincent Persichetti, after which they join forces in possibly one of the most exciting works ever written for solo oboe: “Solo” by the Italian composer Bruno Maderna.

Liesbeth Allart is a freelance oboist enjoying a varied career. Based in the UK, and with family ties in the Netherlands and Ireland, she has played with orchestras and ensembles throughout Europe, including the BBC Concert Orchestra, RTÉ Concert Orchestra, and the Netherlands Symphony Orchestra, as well as acting as Artistic Director of De Bezetting Speelt, a chamber group in the Netherlands, for ten years. As a keen interpreter of contemporary music, Liesbeth has taken part in the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival and is a regular guest with the Insomnio Ensemble in the Netherlands.

Liesbeth Allart’s solo Oboe Recital will take place at Lauderdale House on 1 April at 7.30pm. Doors open at 7pm.

Brahms: A German Requiem @ St. Michael's Church
Mar 30 @ 7:30 pm – 8:45 pm

Brahms’ gorgeous, stirring Ein Deutsches Requiem is one of the great choral works, full of warm, rich harmonies. Inspired perhaps by the deaths of his mother, and his friend and fellow composer Robert Schumann, its music evokes comfort, loss, fear, peace and joy. Unlike other well known requiems, Brahms’ is not so much a mass for the dead as an offering of solace to those who mourn.

Jane Hopkins conducts Voxcetera, with soprano Ellie Sperling and baritone Jamie Sperling, using Iain Farrington’s acclaimed arrangement of the score for chamber ensemble. It promises to be both a grand and intimate experience.

There will be a bar open before and after the performance, and Voxcetera hopes you’ll stay to join us for wine and cake when the music finishes.

Voxcetera is a north London-based choir performing regularly in north and central London. Recent activity includes concerts at St Martin-in-the-fields, East Finchley Arts Festival, tours to southern Germany and recording work for Unicef’s Generations campaign. Its most recent Highgate concert was for Christmas 2018, in St Josephs RC Church.
