Brahms: A German Requiem @ St. Michael's Church

Tickets

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.

Clay Critters Workshop @ OmVed Gardens

Tickets

May 12 @ 11:00 am – 1:00 pm

Join local artist, Jo Pearl, ceramic sculptor and animation filmmaker, for a playful workshop that breathes clay into life while exploring OmVed Gardens’ flora and micro fauna.

Inspired by her body of work ‘Unearthed’ on view at the Alchemy exhibition, ceramic artist and animation filmmaker Jo Pearl will host a playful workshop inviting participants to sculpt the fascinating microbes and mini critters that live beneath healthy soil and bring them to life using simple stop motion.

This workshop is suitable for any age from 8 to 108. Participants must have a smart phone with the iMotion app (free to download) and be able to use it unsupervised. Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult.

“Breathing life into clay and clay into life – has become my definition of animation. I have become fascinated with the soil that is at the root of the ceramic discipline, enchanted by the truly overwhelming richness of life beneath our feet. I celebrate that abundance here with ‘Unearthed’, a project that zooms us down and focuses in on the choreography of ever-more tiny beings that inhabit the soil, a largely unknown place that holds one of the keys to life on earth.” – Jo Pearl
