1st Half: Bruno Heinen Solo
2nd Half: Bruno Heinen/Camerata Alma Viva
The dynamic ensemble Camerata Alma Viva and renowned jazz pianist/composer Bruno Heinen has embarked on a daring new collaboration. They have recorded theit take on one of the most recognisable and oft performed works in all classical music. Heinen’s Four Seasons is a completely new composition. Rather than an arrangement of the Vivaldi, Heinen to answer the question posed to him by the Camerata. If Vivaldi were alive today, what might a new Four Seasons sound like? Heinen explores a written and improvised language somewhere between jazz and impressionism to attempt to answer. With influences from the historically informed performance practice (emphasising the baroque spirit of freedom and transparency) and the language of of modern jazz improvisation.
They will be launching their album with a solo set from Heinen in the first half and their Changing of the Seasons in the second.

Highgate Modern Homes
Professor David Porter and Elspeth Clements
Highgate is the location of perhaps the largest and finest concentration of modern homes anywhere in Britain, but because of the historic context and the pressure on land many are hidden away. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Highgate Society, Elspeth Clements and David Porter curated an exhibition in the School Museum over the October half-term holiday to showcase Highgate’s pioneering spirit. David Porter is Emeritus Professor of Architecture at the Glasgow School of Art, and Elspeth Clements is a practising architect and Chairman of the Highgate Society Planning Committee.
To be held at 10A – the Highgate Society and NOT at the HLSI, next door! Thanks
Join the Great British Spring Clean campaign, Saturday 4 March 10.15 – 11.30 am
at the Highgate Society 10A South Grove, Highgate
During the weekend of 3-5 March many people across the country will take part in the Great British Spring Clean campaign. Last year the campaign got 250,000 people outdoors, active and involved in clean up events.
The Highgate Society is organising one such event. We will supply protective gloves and rubbish bags. All we ask is that you bring yourself, some warm clothing and your enthusiasm. We will start with a short briefing at the Highgate Society 10A South Grove at 10.15 am and then leave for approximately an hour’s tidy up in and around Highgate village. Afterwards, if you have time, we can warm up and enjoy a tea or coffee back at 10A until midday.
You’ll be joining an ever growing band of people who have had enough of other people’s litter, are willing to donate their time to help clear it up and want to see an end to littering. We’ll prepare a short report afterwards to highlight awareness of what we find.
For any questions please contact the organiser Andrew Sulston via the Highgate Society Website.
