Money, Banking & Social Harm @ Friends Meeting House
Dec 5 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

via http://www.meetup.com/Positive-Money/events/86204832/

At the heart of the social harms being caused by our current economic crisis is a crucial but little known aspect of our monetary system. Legislation 160 years old allows private banks to determine not only the amount of money circulating in our economy but also where it goes. This antique privilege and its modern consequences are the subject of a public meeting hold in Muswell Hill on December 5th.

You are invited to a Screening of new documentary97% Owned” new documentary that exposes how our privatised, debt-based monetary system grants banks the power to create money.

Featuring frank interviews and commentary from economists, campaigners and former bankers, 97% Owned shows in just 60 minutes how this privilege allows banks to shape the economy, cause crises and push house prices out of reach. Successive governments and the Bank of England have failed to tackle what amounts to a privatisation of the money supply, economists have missed its significance and the subject is largely ignored by economic pundits in the mainstream media.

Produced by Queuepolitely and featuring Ben Dyson of Positive Money, Josh Ryan-Collins of The New Economics Foundation, Ann Pettifor of PRIME,  Paul Moore the “HBOS Whistleblower”, Simon Dixon of Bank to the Future and Nick Dearden from the Jubliee Debt Campaign, this is the first documentary to tackle this issue from a UK-perspective.

Now radical change to the monetary system is in the air; just what it is and how we can hasten it will be covered in the presentation and discussion following the film.

So if you care about social justice and economic stability, let alone unaffordable house prices, do come and bring friends.

It’s free but donations to cover costs will be welcome on the day.

If you know others who share your concerns do please spread the word and forward this email. Promoted byPositiveMoney an independent, non-party research and campaign organisation aiming to raise public awareness of the UK’s monetary system. For more information: www.positivemoney.org.uk

Mondays @ the Mills: The geography of wine

3 July 2017

The geography of wine

Phil Harrison, Highgate School
It is often remarked that wine is ‘geography in a bottle’ – that it is a fundamental reflection of the place in which it is grown. This discussion will examine some of the factors that influence global viticulture, concentrating on the great wine regions of France and Spain as well as those in the New World. There will be consideration of soils, climate and topography, as well as that quintessentially French concept of terroir.

Talks take place on Mondays at 7pm in the AV Room in the Mills Centre. Refreshments, including wine, are available from 6.30 pm and afterwards.

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.

Brahms and Liszt in Highgate with Gavin and Murray @ Pond Square Chapel
Dec 9 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm
Join Gavin Davies (violin) and Murray Hipkin (piano) for a relaxed evening of celebrated romantic music and delicious wine

In another little step back to the ethos of the London Novello Ensemble – which is the presentation of great music outside the formal constraints of the concert hall – Murray and Gavin present the two opposites of late 19th century romanticism along with music by Delius, Vitali and Sarasate, and a selection of popular tangos including Piazzolla’s famous ‘Libertango’

Gavin Davies studied the violin with Marta Eitler and at the Royal College of Music with Jaroslav Vanecek and Natasha Boyarsky. He combines a freelance orchestral career with ensembles such as the London Philharmonic and BBC Concert orchestras with regular chamber music and solo performances.

Murray Hipkin is a fulltime member of the music staff at English National Opera, where he has conducted The Mikado, The Gondoliers, The Pirates of Penzance, Kismet, Carousel, Chess and Man of la Mancha. He is musical director of the Pink Singers and the North London Chorus and he recently finished filming Anyone Can Sing for ENO/Sky Arts in the role of music supervisor and accompanist.

Programme to include:

Brahms – Sonata No. 1 in G

Liszt – Romance

Delius – Sonata No. 3

Vitali – Chaconne

Sarasate – Zigeunerweisen

Tangos by Albeniz, Gade, and Piazzolla
