wilde roses

Wilde Roses is an early music collaboration between singers, multi-instrumentalists, composers, dancers and performers Anna Tam and Emily Alice Ovenden who met whilst they were performing with the Mediaeval Baebes.

Musically and visually inspired by the medieval and renaissance world, we draw our repertoire from illuminated manuscripts, courtly song books, Elizabethan broadside ballads and the folk tradition. Fascinated by the stories in these songs – medieval religious imagery so beautifully infused with nature; renaissance tales of piracy, jilted lovers and general folly alongside some of the most sincere and tender love songs that reach to the heart of life and human relationships.

Anna Tam (musical director, singer, nyckelharpa, viola da gamba, hurdy gurdy player, percussion) enjoys and eclectic career both in the folk and classical genres. She trained as a classical singer and instrumentalist at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. During her early studies, she performed at the Wigmore Hall and on BBC Radio 3 and has been touring internationally since she was 15.

Emily Alice Ovenden (singer, recorders, percussion) received a scholarship from Andrew Lloyd Webber to study in London. With the Mediaeval Baebes she has made several albums, and recorded themes for BBC TV shows Victoria and Elizabeth. Emily made 3 acclaimed albums with her band PYTHIA and has recorded vocals for multi platinum selling band Dragonforce.

ancestry

Artists explore the theme of Ancestry each producing images that reflect their own unique backgrounds, histories and perspectives.

Janet Campbell:

Janet will be presenting several paintings exploring her maternal ancestry line through five generations – the mitochondrial line. There will be individual portraits and group scenes inspired by Velasquez’s Las Meninas utilising mixed media (oil, acrylic, pastel, charcoal and collage) on canvas.

Carry Gorney:

Carry is using torn lace and old photographs, fragments salvaged from the vanishing world of her refugee ancestors. She has scorched and singed ghostly faces and created a series of ephemeral images by stitching heat-distressed fabrics to the lace of another time. Materials; lace, photographs, torn papers, inks, Tyvek, synthetics, acrylics, gelli-printing.

Sarah Phillips:

Sarah will be illustrating the threads of creativity that permeated her childhood and inspired a lifelong involvement with art, craft and design. Her maternal great grandfather was a Victorian lace designer in the East End and her great grandmother was a pattern cutter. One of her earliest memories is of her Sunday lace on a rag doll mob cap that her aunt made for her.  She will visually embody a nostalgic representation of the desire to collect, horde and recycle that she has inherited from her paternal grandmother who carefully and lovingly preserved buttons, lace, trimmings and unravelled wool.

Chris Demetriou:

Chris will be investigating the areas and specific places of London that have shaped his life, and that of his ancestors and children, utilising a series of photographs.

Veronica Slater:

Veronica Slater manipulates images, taken from old family album photographs. Producing a series of paintings, that probes our process of recognition. These create an unsettling iconography which perhaps reflects the emotional mine field that is family and is ultimately our ancestral legacy.

Litza Jansz:

Litza Jansz uses photo montage to reimagine the ages and relationships of family members over four generations. By playing with time in representing different generations interacting at the same age her work subverts the power relationships within families and the rigid boundaries of the nuclear families within them.

Mini Mozart offers fun and interactive live music classes for toddlers and babies. The classes feature two or more live instruments; a clarinet, violin, flute, French horn, saxophone or trumpet with a piano accompanist. The idea of Mini Mozart is to get children actually listening, not just hearing. Children interact with our live musicians in a way that is impossible with recorded music.

It’s hard to say which will be your favourite part of the class; the warm up where the teachers introduce their instruments allowing your little one to get up close and touch the instruments, or the part where they reveal their suitcase full of fun props that will entice your child on an interactive musical adventure.

Packed with puppets, parachutes & percussion, bursting with Bach & bubbles, and flush with fairy tales and flutes; follow our rotating team of 4 teachers and their piano accompanist on a multi-sensory musical journey that will inspire your little one with instruments from every section of the orchestra.

“I couldn’t wait to get out and about after Alfie was born. Mini Mozart was perfect because it was interesting for both of us!” Claire, Mum to Alfie (aged 4 months)

Start time: 9.30am for toddlers and 10.15 for babies.

ancestry

Artists explore the theme of Ancestry each producing images that reflect their own unique backgrounds, histories and perspectives.

Janet Campbell:

Janet will be presenting several paintings exploring her maternal ancestry line through five generations – the mitochondrial line. There will be individual portraits and group scenes inspired by Velasquez’s Las Meninas utilising mixed media (oil, acrylic, pastel, charcoal and collage) on canvas.

Carry Gorney:

Carry is using torn lace and old photographs, fragments salvaged from the vanishing world of her refugee ancestors. She has scorched and singed ghostly faces and created a series of ephemeral images by stitching heat-distressed fabrics to the lace of another time. Materials; lace, photographs, torn papers, inks, Tyvek, synthetics, acrylics, gelli-printing.

Sarah Phillips:

Sarah will be illustrating the threads of creativity that permeated her childhood and inspired a lifelong involvement with art, craft and design. Her maternal great grandfather was a Victorian lace designer in the East End and her great grandmother was a pattern cutter. One of her earliest memories is of her Sunday lace on a rag doll mob cap that her aunt made for her.  She will visually embody a nostalgic representation of the desire to collect, horde and recycle that she has inherited from her paternal grandmother who carefully and lovingly preserved buttons, lace, trimmings and unravelled wool.

Chris Demetriou:

Chris will be investigating the areas and specific places of London that have shaped his life, and that of his ancestors and children, utilising a series of photographs.

Veronica Slater:

Veronica Slater manipulates images, taken from old family album photographs. Producing a series of paintings, that probes our process of recognition. These create an unsettling iconography which perhaps reflects the emotional mine field that is family and is ultimately our ancestral legacy.

Litza Jansz:

Litza Jansz uses photo montage to reimagine the ages and relationships of family members over four generations. By playing with time in representing different generations interacting at the same age her work subverts the power relationships within families and the rigid boundaries of the nuclear families within them.

Free entry – complimentary tea and cake – non members welcome

This is the third in what is now becoming an annual Highgate Society event – a January afternoon
travel talk and tea. Our first, in 2016, featured visits to North America by Catherine Budgett Meakin
and to the Andes by Richard Webber. Last year it was the turn of Michael Hammerson who dusted
off his slides and diary account from 1966 to treat us to a wonderful account of his experiences as a
young man visiting the battlefields of the American Civil War.
This year our focus shifts to Asia where we will hear travellers’ accounts of visits to three countries in
the Caucasus and Central Asia that receive very few foreign visitors.
The presenters will whet your appetite for a visit with images of magnificent mountain scenery as
well as heritage site of world-wide significance. This will be presented within a broader discussion of
sustainable tourism, the impact of the collapse of the Soviet Union, geo-political uncertainty and
social acceptance and resistance to the spread of Western values.
Do you need a guide to visit these countries? Or should you join a group? How safe will you be? And
how easy is it to engage in meaningful discussion with the views of local people? Come and hear.

Programme
3.15 1: Kyrgistan: Guyonne James
3.40 2: Armenia: Richard Webber
4.05 Questions, answers and discussion in response to talks 1 and 2
4.20 Tea
4.35 3: Iran: Betty Pires + team (the precise members of which are to be confirmed)
5.00 Questions, answers and discussion on practicalities of a central Asia visit
