Long term supporters of our Sunday lunchtime concerts may remember that among our very earliest performers were Sol Grimshaw and his jazz group – at that point just completing their stint at the Guildhall School of Music. Since then Sol has been a busy lad so we are delighted that he will be back with us at the end of September with a selection of lilting jazz tunes.

Churchill said it was riddle wrapped up in a mystery inside an enigma: can we ever understand Russia?
What is to be Done?’ is a question Russians have asked themselves many times over the last two centuries. Sharing their ideas over a lifetime of reading and writing, author Lesley Chamberlain spotlights the difficulties and asks whether there’s an answer.
Lesley Chamberlain studied Russian and German in England and was a Reuters correspondent in Moscow 1978-79 before embarking on a freelance career. While reviewing for many national and international publications and writing and broadcasting on BBC radio she has published over twenty books. They reflect approaches to Russia by way of food, literature, travel, history, philosophy and fiction. Titles include The Food and Cooking of Russia, Motherland A Philosophical History of Russia and most recently a novel The Mozhaisk Road Russian Heart of Darkness.
