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.

nocturne – the romantic life of frederic chopin

HIGHGATEHASHEART is delighted to announce a fundraising concert, “Chopard & Champagne” on Sunday 19th November in support of vital refugee causes.

“Nocturne – The Romantic Life of Frederic Chopin is an evening of music and drama conceived by the internationally renowned concert pianist Lucy Parhamwith narrations by the celebrated actors Henry Goodman and Juliet Stevenson(a co-founder of Highgate Has Heart and local resident). The programme of words and music has been scripted and adapted from letters and diaries by Parham, chronicling the romantic life of one the greatest and most popular composers for solo piano – Frédéric Chopin. The narrative follows his turbulent relationship with the controversial literary figure George Sand, their time together in Majorca, his fragile health and his ultimate demise in poverty in Paris at the age of 39. The readings, with Frederic Chopin narrated by Goodman and George Sand by Stevenson, are interspersed with some of his most loved and poignant compositions played by Parham in the evocative setting of Lauderdale House.

Tickets includes drinks reception and concert performance.

Drinks reception from 7pm with concert starting at 8pm. The evening will end at 10pm with a short interval.

“Lucy Parham’s trailblazing evening concerts in which she fuses music and words with the help of some of our most distinguished actors, have become one of the must-see events on the musical calendar.”

BBC Music Magazine 5 stars *****

Proceeds from the evening will be donated on behalf of HighgateHasHeart to the 4 refugees charities we support: Help Refugees, Safe Passage, Islington Centre and Young Roots.

Ivo Neame (piano), George Crowley (tenor saxophone), Tom Farmer (bass), Martin France (drums)

Pianist and composer Ivo Neame has now reached European star status with his work with piano trio Phronesis and with Norwegian superstar saxophonist Marius Neset. A considerable leap up from those Kentish Town Loop Collective sessions of a few years ago. Having heard his own Quartet at this year’s Swanage Festival, where he delighted a full church venue of typical elderly mainstream jazz fans with his innovative but beautifully melodic and accessible music, we are fortunate to be able to attract such a busy musician to the House. If you think new wave Euro jazz is all about ice-cold intellectualism, come and have your prejudice confounded. At some points George Crowley almost sounds like one of those classic Texas tenors; there are real jazz roots in this music.

From Help Refugees’ mission statement:

“Help Refugees is not simply another aid organisation. We work where governmental and other non-governmental bodies can (or will) not, filling the gaps and providing emergency aid and vital services to those affected by the global refugee crisis. We act fast to get aid and services directly and immediately to the people who need it most by identifying the most effective grassroots groups, local people, individual volunteers and refugees themselves active in the crisis and providing them with funding and support, enabling them to focus their time and energy on the vital work they do every day. Help Refugees are also operational where needed across Europe providing our experienced teams to maintain quality services and uphold dignity for refugees.”

“For many years I have admired Idit as both a singer and a teacher of singing: she brings to all her musicmaking a lively professionalism and integrity, coupled with the gift of communication which inspires others to aspire to the same high standards. I have witnessed her in action as a teacher and have seen how quickly she can achieve positive results with committed students by pinpointing the specific areas of development relevant to each individual singer – the singers themselves are frequently surprised at the speed of their progress under Idit’s tuition. I enthusiastically recommend Idit as an exceptional teacher who commands international respect.”
