Q3 2021 SPECIAL
INTEREST DAYS (ZOOM EVENTS) |
|
SEPTEMBER 2021 - CLASSICAL MUSIC CRASH COURSE |
|
The following zoom event is being run by The Arts Society
West Surrey, on Friday 17th September at 10am |
|
|
 |
This crash course covers three hundred years of
great classical music, from the first opera
still to be performed today, Claudio
Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo (1607), through to the work
that perhaps more than any other signalled the
start of modernism, the ballet The Rite of
Spring by Igor Stravinsky (1913).
Progressing through the Baroque, Classical and
Romantic eras, Sandy discusses what role music
played in each, and illustrates how composers
went about the process of shaping their works.
A glossary of key terms and list of essential
elements of each era is provided, along with a
playlist with details of the musical
illustrations used.
There will be two one-hour lectures with a break
in between.

Timothy will look at the use of plants and their colour in garden design. The principles used are those of
fine art combined with a dash of botany. Some of the same plants that are used to create beautiful pictures are also used to make life saving medicines. The argument will be made that gardens support both body and soul.
Timothy is an entertaining speaker who has won many garden design awards. He is a dyed-in-the-wool horticulturalist who worked at the University of Oxford Botanic Garden & Harcourt Arboretum from 1986 to 2014, the last 12 years as Director. He is stipendiary lecturer in Plant Sciences at Somerville, Pembroke and Hertford Colleges.
His lectures have been described as the aural and visual equivalent of sparkling champagne.

David Hockney Exhibition At
Tate Britain
|
|
A Special Interest Day in London |
|
Friday
10th March 2017 |
 |
David Hockney, one of the most
popular and influential British
artists of the twentieth
century, returns to Tate Britain
in 2017 for his most
comprehensive exhibition yet.
As he approaches his 80th
birthday, Hockney continues to
change his style and ways of
working, embracing new
technologies as he goes. From
his portraits and images of Los
Angeles swimming pools, through
to his drawings and photography,
Yorkshire landscapes and most
recent paintings – some of which
have never been seen before in
public – this exceptional
exhibition shows how the roots
of each new direction lay in the
work that came before.
A once-in-a-lifetime chance to
see these unforgettable works
together.
We meet at Tate Britain at
11.00am for coffee, before an
introductory talk at 11.30am by
Frank Woodgate, a very popular
Arts Society lecturer. This is
followed at 12.30pm by a buffet
lunch. Timed tickets for entry
to the exhibition are at 1.30pm
and 2.30pm.
Numbers are restricted, so
please book early to ensure you
get a ticket |
