Bach : St Matthew Passion
The Orchestra and Conductors of I Maestri warmly present: Where Trails tell Tales; a Young Soloists Concert programme in collaboration with rising new talent from student musicians of the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain.
I Maestri strongly dedicate its efforts in aiding the next generation of highly gifted and talented musicians and has worked and helped promote the beginnings of a new musical journey to many now well established artists such as Nicola Benedetti, Yuri Zhislin, Maxim Rysanov and many others. It offers a platform for Young Artists to work with an orchestra, for some, the very first time, before they embark on their professional careers and musical path.
This evening’s performance begins the ‘Trail’ of a new ‘Tale’ for three very special young individuals; Leora Cohen (Violinist), Anna Semple (Violist) and Joseph Pritchard (Cellist).

Hidden Heroes on your doorstep
In Highgate you are never far from a WW1 memorial giving the names of the brave men who gave their lives in this devastating conflict.
Join us for our special exhibition to honor our local heroes supported by the Heritage Lottery.
Over the past months local people aged 8 to 80’s have become heritage detectives led by practitioner D R Corgan. After taking part in research workshops, talks and trips they have created their own WWI exhibition.
This unique, interactive exhibition will be a fitting tribute to our Highgate Heroes. It will give an insight into their WWI experiences from the optimistic call up to the horrors of battle.
Suitable for Ages 6+
