Concert 6 – Not So Silent Cinema: ‘Sherlock Junior’
Francesco Sica & Natalie Klouda – violin, Jürg Dähler – viola, Ashok Klouda – cello, Simon Callaghan – piano
A rare opportunity to experience this 1920’s classic silent comedy film with a live score, 100 years on from its original release.
Named by Time Magazine as one of the All-Time Greatest 100 Movies, Sherlock Junior (1924) stars Buster Keaton as a cinema projectionist who moonlights as an amateur detective. Keaton’s trademark physical comedy is soundtracked by a piano quintet score composed especially for the film, in 1920s style, by the LA-born composer and Tchaikovsky Competition prize-winning pianist Stephen Prutsman. A perfect Sunday activity for families on the hunt for something different this festive season.
The film lasts 45 minutes and is rated U.

Our Guerrilla Gardening group has been busy with planning for 2024 since our evening workshop in November. Work has included a walk-about through the N6 area to survey 16 potential sites for our activities and developing a map with notes, so that we can assign actions (even if just monitoring) to each site.
We are now looking for people that can join us to grow this initiative. If you can help out at a gardening event (site clearing, pruning, planting), or might be interested in becoming a ‘champion’ for a particular site near you that needs care, or you simply want to know more, please do get in touch via the contact form on the website or by direct email to: infrastructure@highgatesociety.com. A member of the team will be in touch. You can also sign up to our occasional Guerrilla Gardening newsletter.
Meanwhile, the dates for gardening events have been fixed – see below – so do ‘save the date’ in your diary, if you are interested. We will provide further information as to the event activity and location, each month. Please note, some are evening events and they are not only Saturdays!
| Saturday 23 March | 10–12 noon |
| Saturday 20 April | 10–12 noon |
| Saturday 18 May | 2.30–4.30pm |
