Feb 22 @ 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Join members of our resident Chamber Opera Ensemble Insieme for a recital of songs based on the music and poetry of Highgate residents Liza Lehmann and Christina Rossetti. In honour of Heritage Weekend, this special 45 minute performance connects local history with these incredible women.

Highgate Cemetery hosts the graves of several distinguished Victorian women including Lehmann and Rossetti. After her death Lehmann’s work was largely forgotten except among professional singers. However, with the revival of interest in women composers, her compositions can now be heard in recitals again. Some of her songs have even been set to poems by Rossetti.

Rossetti has close ties with the local area. In early 1859 she began volunteering at the St. Mary Magdalene Penitentiary in Highgate, a charitable institution for the reclamation of ‘fallen’ women. By the summer of 1859 Rossetti was devoting a good deal of time to her work at the institution, and its influence can be seen in her poems about illicit love, betrayal, and illegitimacy. This short recital features settings of her work by Michael Head, John Ireland, Arthur Somervell and Hubert Parry.

Nighthawks: Ron Peck @ LUX
Mar 1 @ 2:00 pm – 4:30 pm

Nighthawks was Britain’s first explicitly gay film made within the gay community. This quietly revolutionary film gives us one of cinema’s first complex, fully realised gay protagonists.

The screening of this rare film will be followed by a conversation between Director Ron Peck and artist Ian Giles.

Nighthawks is set in a post-Stonewall and pre-AIDS London. In the evenings Jim, an out geography teacher hits the bars, where the dance floor becomes a space of lusty liberation, dispiriting ritual and social connections. Peck made Nighthawks with a cast of mostly non-professional actors, advertising for roles in newspaper classifieds. Jim’s worlds collide when he’s confronted by his students. When asked if he is “bent” Jim gives the schoolboys a resounding lesson in tolerance that still reverberates today.

Nighthawks has been selected by Ian Giles as part of the Communal Curriculum for his Jerwood New Work Fund project ‘On Railton Road’ – Giles is developing a play about the Brixton gay squats in the 1970s. Communal Curriculum is a series of public events produced as part of the play’s devising process and includes: the Nighthawks screening, a queer tour of Brixton and other related discussions. His resulting collaborative play will be presented at Brixton Base on April 17th and 18th 2020. More details: onrailtonroad.com

Supported by Jerwood Arts and Arts Council England

 

Programme

Nighthawks (1978), 16mm transferred to DVD, colour, 113 mins.
