Events coming up: March 2023
Dear Friends
I hope you are OK and surviving this cold spring weather. I just remembered that I had forgotten to update the website, and managed to do some of that today. I've tweaked some details and added two new organisations to the Events Page: https://hnca.org.uk/wp/events/
Friends of Highgate Library has one of their very interesting lectures this Thursday 9th March, which you can join in person or online. The next one, with Catharine Wells, is about the Highgate Pink Plaques Project: Honouring Women from Angela Burdett-Coutts to Stella Gibbons: https://www.fohl.org.uk/events/.
One interesting addition to our Events page is On Bouge, a long-standing French Folk Dance Club, which has its monthly meeting this Friday 10th March - in the basement of the Heath Street Baptist Club. If you book in advance it's only £10, but you can show up at the door and pay £12 - see https://onbouge.org and https://www.wegottickets.com/onbouge.
North Camden Chorus holds term-time rehearsals on Tuesdays from 7.30pm to 9.15pm at William Ellis School, Highgate Road, London, NW5 1RN, for their end-of-term concerts - the next one, at St Mary Brookfield Church, is coming up on Saturday 25th March from 7.30pm. The choir will be performing: KARL JENKINS – THE ARMED MAN - an anti-war piece written for the Millennium celebrations and dedicated to victims of the Kosovo crisis, MOZART'S AVE VERUM - composed in the final year of his life to celebrate the feast of Corpus Christi, and FAURÉ's CANTIQUE DE JEAN RACINE. Tickets cost £15 at the door, but only £12 if booked in advance - see https://ncchorus.org.uk/spring-concert-saturday-25-march/.
If you have any other information which may be of interest to our friends, do let us know. Meanwhile that's it for now.
Best wishes to all

Choral Event: Sat 21st May
Dear Friends
I've been rehearsing with the North Camden Chorus and better late than never, I'm writing to let you know that our next concert is tomorrow, Saturday 21st May 2022, from 7.30pm at St Mary Brookfield Church, Dartmouth Park Hill, London NW5 1SL - just north of the Lord Palmerston pub. In addition to the choir
there will be a small chamber group and Baritone and Soprano
soloists. The conductor is Ian Gibson.
The main piece is Gabriel Faure's "Requiem", plus "Antiphon" from Vaughan Williams' Five Mystical Songs, Handel's "Zadok the Priest", Henry Purcell's "Lord thou Knowest the Secrets of our Hearts", John Rutter's lovely green anthem "Look at the World", Howard Goodall's "The Lord is My Shepherd" - which was the theme tune of the Vicar of Dibley, and a piece by Benjamin Britten - not sure what this is but so maybe they are doing that one.
Tickets are £15 (£12 concessions) can be booked in advance via Eventbrite - follow the link below - or by paying cash on the door. A glass of wine will be available after the concert for a small cash donation. Let me know if you are planning to attend.
Looking forward
