The Highgate International Chamber Music Festival brings together distinguished chamber musicians from around the world for an annual celebration of chamber music. In the intimate setting of St Anne’s Highgate, a stone’s throw from Hampstead Heath, HICMF presents varied programmes with masterworks of the repertoire set alongside lesser-known works, delivered with fresh, energised performances by world-class musicians performing alongside each another in combinations not heard anywhere else.
‘Passion and sheer panache’ – The Strad ‘Serious performers [and] concerts of genuine world class’ – Camden New Journal ‘Top soloists blend to perfection’ – ArtsDesk
Concert 7 – Gala Concert
Benjamin Gilmore & Natalie Klouda – violin, Jürg Dähler – viola, Ashok Klouda – cello, Julian Bliss – clarinet, Daisy Bevan – soprano, Irina Botan – piano
HICMF 2024 draws to a close with a gala evening showcasing soprano Daisy Bevan, clarinettist Julian Bliss and titans of the Romantic era Strauss, Schumann, Schubert and Brahms. Nestled in between is Caroline Shaw’s whimsical Entr’acte (2011), composed two years before Shaw became the youngest ever recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for Music.

Our Guerrilla Gardening group has been busy with planning for 2024 since our evening workshop in November. Work has included a walk-about through the N6 area to survey 16 potential sites for our activities and developing a map with notes, so that we can assign actions (even if just monitoring) to each site.
We are now looking for people that can join us to grow this initiative. If you can help out at a gardening event (site clearing, pruning, planting), or might be interested in becoming a ‘champion’ for a particular site near you that needs care, or you simply want to know more, please do get in touch via the contact form on the website or by direct email to: infrastructure@highgatesociety.com. A member of the team will be in touch. You can also sign up to our occasional Guerrilla Gardening newsletter.
Meanwhile, the dates for gardening events have been fixed – see below – so do ‘save the date’ in your diary, if you are interested. We will provide further information as to the event activity and location, each month. Please note, some are evening events and they are not only Saturdays!
