New Members Walk Hampstead Heath and Highgate Woods (free) 9 Miles Sunday 2nd October @ Golders Green Tube Station
Oct 2 @ 10:30 am – 4:30 pm

Starting and finshing at Golders Green, this is a country walk inside London. It is suitable for existing, new and prospective members. Despite being well within London it is over 85% on tracks and paths , passes through several ancient woodlands and visits many bodies of water. It even goes along a disused railway line.

It is a good opportunity for prospective members or those just thinking about joining to meet existing members and find out more about the Central London Outdoors Group

If you can’t make this walk, please tell your friends as they might be interested
I will lead you past West Heath,  Parliament Hill (with one of the very best views of the City) and Highgate Ponds. Ascending Highgate Hill, we will   continue to Highgate Wood where I intend stopping  for lunch (you can buy a meal or a drink  or bring your own picnic to eat on the adjoining lawn) After going through Queens Wood we pass Highgate underground station (it is possible to leave the walk here),The Parkland Walk path is a ribbon of green woods high above the houses on  disused railway line. Crossing high above the Archway  we walk through  Waterlow Park to Highgate Village  then descend to Hampstead Heath passing Kenwood House Ken Wood itself and the strange oaks of Sandy Heath and the North End. Finally we walk down the Heath Extension before turning off to return to the start at Golders Green

Highgate Choral Society sings Kodaly Missa Brevis @ St. Michael's Church
May 6 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Throughout 2017 the 50th anniversary of the death of Hungarian composer Zoltan Kódaly is being marked. In 1945, while hiding with his wife and many others in the cellar of the Budapest Opera House during the Nazi occupation, he completed his Missa Brevis, which had originally been an organ mass. Its first performance was in the cloakroom of the Opera House, later receiving its official première at the 1948 Three Choirs Festival in Worcester.
By the time of this concert Highgate Choral Society will have been on its tenth tour abroad, to Naples, Sorrento and Pompeii, where they will have performed sacred and secular pieces by Finzi, Mascagni, Puccini, Rossini, Vaughan Williams and Verdi, as well as Campion, Palestrina and Tallis.
The soloist in the Missa Brevis will be young soprano Iúnó Connolly, who will also sing a selection of English and Italian songs accompanied by organist Edward Batting.
