Using major works of art as a metaphorical prism, Justin Mullins creates images that explore the cultural, intellectual and emotional role of mathematics in human life.
These mathematical photographs are inspired by Monet, Bellini, Dali, Rustici, Warhol and others. Each photograph sits next to an image of the work that inspired it, like a reflection. In this way, the exhibition space becomes a hall of mathematical mirrors — portals between mathematical and physical realities.
Note that the exhibition is scheduled to open daily from 12 noon to 4pm but may be closed for private events at short notice. Please check with Lauderdale House before your visit on 020 8348 8716.

A fun, interactive and festive performance for children, incorporating music from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker, stories, song, and musical games.
Join Trio Taliesin to hear four pieces from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker, arranged for piano trio. The music will intermingle with storytelling as they present a new fictional tale filled with magic and adventure and featuring characters from the original Nutcracker story. There will be interactive elements throughout the performances for children to get involved in including movement, singing and body percussion activities.
This concert is recommended for children aged 3-8 years old, but all ages are welcome.
Trio Taliesin take their name from Celtic mythology: Taliesin was a renowned bard who entertained at the courts of the Brythonic kings. The trio formed in 2017 with the aim of engaging audiences in piano trio repertoire through collaborative performances and programming that link works with an underlying narrative. They have given concerts in London, Oxford, Sedbergh and Llanidloes, collaborated on performances with actress Holly Walters, and performed Beethoven’s Triple Concerto with the Cobweb Orchestra.

Join Trio Taliesin for an evening of chamber music that promises to leave you feeling joyful and festive.
The concert will open with Debussy’s Piano Trio in G major. Written in 1880, when Debussy was just 18 years old, it was composed in Italy while he was working as pianist and piano teacher for Tchaikovsky’s patroness, Nadezhda von Meck. The work is full of beautiful lyricism, warm harmonies and plenty of charm.
Next, to get you in the festive spirit, Trio Taliesin will perform a piano trio arrangement of four movements from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker. Tchaikovsky composed the ballet in 1892, 12 years after Debussy had written his Piano Trio. Although the full staged version of the Nutcracker ballet was initially not as popular as the shorter concert suite, the ballet and its music has become some of Tchaikovsky’s most famous work.
The concert will finish with some piano trio arrangements of a few festive carols and songs to send you home feeling warmed by an evening of musical cheer and happily humming your favourite tunes.

Vienna in the early 1900s was a fascinating place, full of artistic and intellectual experiments and innovations. Figures like Gustav Mahler, Arnold Schoenberg and Gustav Klimt are still remembered and discussed more than a century later. But there were also many creative and extraordinary women working alongside them, whose names were forgotten until very recently. This lecture-recital combines music and words to recreate the lives and works of some of these women, whose voices are beginning to be heard again. And they are well worth hearing.

On this International Women’s Day, Carola Emrich-Fisher, mezzo-soprano and Lara Dodds-Eden, piano will present Unheard Voices: Women Composers & Their Stories. With six different languages, three continents and several centuries represented, this recital offers a glimpse into the vast repertoire of women composers’ works. Women composers are still underrepresented in the canon of Classical music and little research has been undertaken into some composers simply because they were women and not as well-known in their time. Luckily, the world is gradually discovering the wealth of repertoire composed by women in the past and contemporary women composers are more and more represented in concert halls. This recital will be a journey of discovery: from little-known Romantic composers, such as Josephine Lang, Dora Pejačević, Clara Faisst, Johanna Müller-Hermann and Margarete Schweikert, to 20th century composers Lili and Nadia Boulanger, Henriette Boesmanns, Rebecca Clarke, Amy Beach, Marion Bauer, Florence Price and Vítězslava Kaprálová, to contemporary composers Shirley Thompson, Virginia Firnberg, Cecilia Livingston and Alice Ping Yee Ho. These women composers were and are trailblazers of their time, breaking conventions and pursuing their work despite immense challenges. The concert will not only present these composers’ works, but will shed light on the fascinating life stories and accomplishments of these women.
German-American mezzo-soprano Carola Emrich-Fisher has appeared as soloist and ensemble member in major concert halls of the US, UK and Europe. She holds an MM (distinction) from the Longy School of Music and a BM (honours) from New England Conservatory. Australian-born pianist Lara Dodds-Eden received her doctorate from the University of Toronto after postgraduate studies in the UK. As a specialist song and choral accompanist, she has performed extensively in the UK, Australia, Canada and Europe.
