Barn Dance/Ceilidh @ Highgate United Reformed Church
Feb 11 @ 7:00 pm – 11:00 pm

Make sure you keep the evening (from 7pm to 11pm)  of 11th February free in the your diaries for our amazing Barn Dance/Ceilidh hosted by the equally amazing Central London Outdoor Group – a not-for-profit group run for members by members – see our website:  Central London Outdoor Group.

A top live barn dance band (3 musician plus caller) band will be performing at this special event – The Wraggle Taggle Band. http://www.wraggletaggle.com/.

Never been to a barn dance before?  No problem – the caller will teach you everything you need to know.

The barn dance will be at a fab venue in Highgate with plenty of space for dancing, good acoustics and a separate lounge for when you want to sit out a dance but still watch the action.  We also get the use of a kitchen for food, drinks and snacks.   You can bring food and drink to share (like we do at picnics).

Ticket sales will be opening in January.  Tickets will be priced at the ridiculously low price of £13 per head (or £12 per head for members of the Central London Outdoor Group).

How to buy tickets?  See:  http://www.clog.org.uk/p/barn-dance.html

The total number of tickets will be capped at 70 to ensure there is plenty of space for dancing.

Bernstein Chichester Psalms @ St Michael's Church, Highgate
May 19 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm

2018 marks the centenary of the birth of composer, conductor, author, music lecturer and pianist Leonard Bernstein, whose most famous scores include West Side Story, On the Town, Candide and On the Waterfront.

Commissioned from Bernstein by the Dean of Chichester Cathedral for the 1965 Southern Cathedrals Festival, the Chichester Psalms received its UK premiere on 31st July 1965 and has gone on to become a highly popular staple of choral societies to this day. Consisting of three short movements, the Chichester Psalms is sung in Hebrew.

Our programme of 20th- and 21st-century compositions is completed with choral works by Janacek, Morten Lauridsen and Vaughan Williams.
