BUST: A new play by Naomi Lowde @ The Red Hedgehog
Sep 10 @ 6:30 pm – 6:30 pm

BUST is based in London, and focuses on a group of thirty-somethings who are growing up. Faced with real life challenges and topics (e.g. breast cancer, miscarriage, accidents, gay partnership…) BUST explores the measures people take to fulfill their sense of purpose in the world. Essentially, it’s commentary on commitment, sacrifice and family.

 After Naomi Lowde’s well-received musical debut, “Redundancy the Musical” (www.redundancythemusical.com) at the Hen and Chickens Theatre in February last year (www.offwestend.com/index.php/plays/view/7201), she worked on several new pieces and productions in Hong Kong. Now Lowde has returned to London to debut BUST.

*10% of ticket sales will be donated to The Carers Trust.

Mark Thomas: Red Shed (work in progress) @ Jacksons Lane
Jun 28 @ 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm
Mark Thomas: Red Shed (work in progress) @ Jacksons Lane

Red Shed is the third part in a trilogy that started with the multi award winning shows Bravo Figaro and Cuckooed.

Mark returns to the place where he first started to perform in public, a red wooden shed in Wakefield, the Labour Club, to celebrate the club’s 50th birthday.

Interviewing old friends and comrades Mark pieces together the club’s history and works with the club to campaign with some of the poorest workers in the country for their rights.

It is the story of the battle for hope and the survival of a community in a small wooden shed.

It is part theatre, part stand up, part journalism, part activism and returns to Mark’s obsessions of community and struggle.

The show will involve the audience (in a nice way) to help recreate the shed and its inhabitants.

Highgate Choral Society sings Brahms German Requiem @ All Hallows Church
Nov 12 @ 7:00 pm – 9:30 pm

The opening concert in our 2016-2017 season has a sombre feel, commemorating the centenary of the Battle of the Somme. Starting with The Banks of Green Willow by George Butterworth, who was killed in action on 5th August 1916, aged 31, this work is complemented by Ronald Corp’s The Somme – A Lament. The mood lifts with the choral arrangement of Serenade to Music by Butterworth’s contemporary, Vaughan Williams and the programme closes with Brahms’s glorious German Requiem.

Mozart Mass in C Minor K427 @ All Hallows Church
Nov 11 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Works written for two very different occasions form the opening concert in Highgate Choral Society’s 2017-2018 season. Following the recovery from illness of his fiancée, Constanze Weber, Mozart promised to write a mass of thanksgiving. Although it was never completed the Mass in C minor was premièred, in its incomplete state, with Constanze as one of the soprano soloists, in Salzburg on 26th October 1783 and harks back to the Baroque world of Handel and Bach.
Originally commissioned by the Polish-born art collector Bronislaw Krystall to write a requiem commemorating his wife’s death, Karol Szymanowski decided to change the contract and instead composed what is considered to be his greatest masterpiece. The inspiration for his Stabat Mater was the tragic death of his niece, Alinka and the subsequent suffering of his pregnant sister, who was soon to lose another child. Completed in 1926, Stabat Mater is of fundamental importance in the history of Polish music after Chopin.
