Hidden Heroes on your doorstep
In Highgate you are never far from a WW1 memorial giving the names of the brave men who gave their lives in this devastating conflict.
Join us for our special exhibition to honor our local heroes supported by the Heritage Lottery.
Over the past months local people aged 8 to 80’s have become heritage detectives led by practitioner D R Corgan. After taking part in research workshops, talks and trips they have created their own WWI exhibition.
This unique, interactive exhibition will be a fitting tribute to our Highgate Heroes. It will give an insight into their WWI experiences from the optimistic call up to the horrors of battle.
Suitable for Ages 6+
Call up’s: see the exhibition at Jacksons Lane

Learn how to develop your singing voice from total scratch
You don’t need to have previous singing experience or be able to read music as this workshop will teach you the singing essentials of breathing techniques and vocal skills in four hours for £25.50.
Kieran and Idit will show you how to transform your speaking voice into a singing voice through practical techniques. Not only will these techniques help improve your singing but also your voice for presentations and public speaking. And that’s not all, for completing the Level 1 workshop you will receive a certificate.
It will be fun and entertaining and to help you we will email the song sheets upon booking so you become familiar with the chosen songs.
Feedback from Elaine who attended our Beginners Workshop in January: “I loved the workshop. I thought it was very well organised. As a complete beginner, the focus on interactive learning (i.e. theory, practice and feedback) was very helpful. I came away with a lot more confidence but, rather than just a feeling of increased confidence, I have learnt techniques that could develop my singing voice.”

To celebrate the 150th birthday of two great composers; Carl Nielsen and Jean Sibelius, the orchestra and conductors of I Maestri present: Northern Temperaments, an evening that will transport you through Northern Europe from Finland, to Norway, and crossing the waters of the Baltic to Denmark.
The musical journey begins with Jean Sibelius’s Lemminkäinen in Tunoela (from Molto Lento); a tone poem based on Rumos (Elk, Horse and Swan and “Resurrection”). Lemminkäinen is in Tuonela, the land of the dead, to shoot the swan of Tuonela to be able to claim the daughter of Louhi, mistress of Northland, in marriage. However, the blind man of the Northland Kills Lemminkäinen, whose body is then tossed in the river and then dismembered. Lemminkäinen’s mother learns of the death, travels to Tuonela, recovers his body parts, reassembles him and restores him to life.
This piece will be bridged together with Sibelius’s Luonnotar, based on the same Finnish text from Kalevala. Luonnotar is the Spirit of Nature and Mother of the Seas, the words coming from the first part of Kalevala that deals with the creation of the World.
In Norway there is a celebration with, Edvard Grieg’s Wedding Day at Troldhaugen that congratulates the best wishes to young newlyweds. From his Lyric pieces for piano, Book VIII,Op. 65, this along with the Cradle Song is an orchestration from this score.
From Story telling we travel onwards where the journey becomes more of a musical conversation with Carl Nielsen’s Concerto for Flute and Orchestra. Neoclassical in style and consisting of only two movements it resembles a different landscape altogether, less mystical and more real, cosmopolitan and visual, with its busy dialogue between solo flute and the different instruments of the orchestra.
Nielsen’s Symphony No. 2, ‘The Four Temperaments’ is a musical sketch of humour, titled; ‘The Choleric,’ The Sanguine,’ ‘The Melancholic,’ and ‘The Phlegmatic.’ Influenced by painting of the same titles, Nielsen characterises a Young Man who believes the whole world belongs to him and tells the tale of his naïve journey.
The music in this evenings programme will take your senses and imagination to illustrious places and we hope you can join the orchestra on this enigmatic journey.

We are delighted to welcome Patrick Cullen, who has just won a prize at this year’s prestigious Lynn Painter-Stainers Competition, back to Highgate Gallery. This wide ranging exhibition is inspired by his travels in India, Italy and Transylvania, and also includes portraits, flower studies and paintings of the female nude.
Patrick uses oils and pastels to create an intense and personal response to his subject matter. His work derives from close observation of and interaction with nature, which gives it freshness and vitality. Whether he is concerned with a Tuscan view or an Indian street market scene, the colour, heat and atmosphere are all vividly conveyed. As artist Ken Howard, R.A. has put it, Patrick’s work “speaks directly to us .… He has the impressionist’s ability to fix the mood of a moment,… also his work has that quality which is essential to all great art, the balance between form and content.”
Patrick trained at St Martin’s and Camberwell art schools in the 1970s and is the recipient of many prizes in addition to the recent Lynn Painter-Stainers award, including the Watercolour Prize at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and prizes from the Pastel Society, the Royal Watercolour Society and the New English Art Club, of which he is a member. His paintings are in many collections including the Royal Academy and Sheffield City Art Gallery.
When not travelling, Patrick lives in Stroud Green, and is also known for his paintings of London allotment views.
