Meditative Walk on the Heath, by Aimee Birnbaum

PRINTMAKERS INC.     OPEN & CLOSED SPACES     an exhibition of Original Prints and their processes

“Open & Closed Spaces” refers to the breadth of the locality – the area of almost rural calm within a city – which is the view from Highgate so enjoyed by Coleridge. The title also refers to the surfaces in printmaking of the plate or matrix when bitten, scraped, burnished, painted, inked or wiped.

Printmakers Inc. was formed in 2010 with a pop-up shop in Woburn Place, supported by Camden Council. Since then this group has expanded and shown in a number of Affordable Art Fairs in Hampstead.

The group works in a variety of printmaking media including: etching, drypoint, mono print, collagraphy, solar plate, photo/transfer etching and screenprint.

The group will exhibit their work, and their ways of practice, to create a lively and engaging show in the Gallery at HLSI.

Drop-in Printmaking on Saturday 25th November, 2-4pm.
Members of the public are invited to create their own prints fitting with the title “Open & Closed Spaces”. Places are free but are offered on a first-come basis. Participants should bring their own protective clothing but all other materials are provided.

Sarah Moule (vocals), Simon Wallace (piano), Steve Watts (bass), Paul Robinson (drums)

‘We want people to leave our gigs feeling a little different from when they arrived‘. This is the goal for one of our finest singers, Sarah Moule and the musicians she surrounds herself with, acclaimed composer and pianist Wallace, Loose Tubes bassist Watts and Nina Simone’s drummer for 19 years, Robinson. Their music is melodic and layered, by turns moody or playful or even occasionally, ripe with the kind of bawdy humour you might have encountered on the Black Vaudeville circuit of the 1920’s.

‘Cool, elegant and immaculate’. Dave Gelly, The Observer

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)

Alison Rayner (bass), Steve Lodder (piano), Deirdre Cartwright (guitar), Diane McLoughlin (saxophone), Buster Birch (drums) 

The full date book for this most appealing of bands, full of almost folk melody, neo funk grooves and jazz swing, all built around Alison Rayner’s magnificent bass sound, tells its own story of a group of musicians who clearly love playing together.  No empty virtuosity here but just a strong wish to communicate and give audiences pleasure.

“ARQ bring to the stage a musical bond that is expressed in such fun and joyful moments that it is a pleasure to be in the same room with them; jazz of the highest quality” Phil Rose, Birmingham Jazz

the art deco ball

Cassellah Presents The Art Deco Night Owls in association with Nikki Santilli.

The Art Deco Night Owls are specialists in the recreation of the music and atmosphere of the exhilarating Roaring 20s Jazz Age into the Swinging 30s. Said by an appreciative public, to effervesce like sparkling Champagne!

The Hot Dance Orchestra comprises eight talented multi-instrumentalists playing vintage instruments such as: original vintage era drum kit with period console, Chinese tom, temple blocks, crash/ accent / bell cymbals; bass sax, tuba, string bass – not of course all played at once !!

Banjo, piano, 2 saxophonists-playing soprano, alto, tenor, saxophones, clarinets, cornet, leader trombone

Vocal – Brian Webb one of the very best/most accurate male vocalists covering this period of music, be it as a 30’s crooner or as a driving 20s singer.

With us for The Art Deco Ball we have Nikki Santilli a leading early Jazz dancer to delight us with a dance or two. What will it be?!! Charleston, Blackbottom, Balboa? Most of the music from the period was actually written in Foxtrot rhythm, including perhaps surprisingly, The Charleston, Blackbottom and Varsity Drag!

Come to dance, or just come to listen and soak up the atmosphere, either way we’ll have a Ball!

Exhibition – ancestry @ Lauderdale House
Dec 14 @ 11:00 am – 4:00 pm

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.

the meritus collective @ Lauderdale House
Dec 19 @ 1:15 pm – 2:15 pm

 

the meritus collective

The Meritus Collective was established to bring together musicians of all instruments who shared a passion for chamber music and to provide platforms from which to perform. Members have trained at most of the major conservatoires in Britain and between them have performed as parts of chamber groups all around the world and for orchestras including the London Symphony Orchestra and Royal Philharmonia Orchestra.

Meritus was the pseudonym of Felix Mendelssohn given to the young composer by Robert Schumann. It translates roughly as ‘happy through merit’ and is an inspiring and effective byword for this young and dynamic group of musicians who will be bringing a varied and exciting set of programmes to Lauderdale House over the coming year.

The Meritus Collective will perform a selection of works for flute, clarinet and string.

wilde roses @ Lauderdale House
Dec 19 @ 7:30 pm – 10:00 pm

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.

wilde roses – an early music collaboration @ Lauderdale House
Dec 19 @ 7:30 pm – 10:00 pm

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.

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.

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

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)
