Pygmalion touring in November

“Cherup Capt’n and buy a flower offa paw gerl” – thus begins the story of Eliza Doolittle, taken under the wing of Professor Henry Higgins, a linguistic expert. He has made a bet that within six months he can transform the scruffy, Cockney girl into a ‘proper lady’ and pass her off as a Duchess.

With a fabulous cast and sumptuous costumes, the tour begins in Halesworth on the 14th November, before travelling to Bungay, Laxfield, Beccles, Diss and Wingfield ending on the 23rd.

See: www.roughcast.co.uk for details.

Bach’s Mass in B Minor.

Saturday 16 November .

Snape Maltings Concert Hall, Snape, Suffolk, IP17 1SP.

One of the pinnacles of the choral repertoire, Bach’s Mass in B Minor is as fresh and exciting today as when it was completed in 1749.

The Yellow Wallpaper
24th October

Confined to the attic with nothing but a journal and her thoughts, a young mother is prescribed peace and tranquillity to help her hysteria. But her thoughts are less than tranquil and the attic’s Yellow Wallpaper does little to quiet her mind, forcing her to explore every corner of her sanity.

Written in 1892, Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s Yellow Wallpaper is an important piece of feminist literature which brings to life the attitude towards physical and mental health in the 19th century while gripping readers with its foreboding atmosphere.

Halesworth Harmony is a friendly and supportive choir, welcoming all singers without an audition. We sing a varied mix of world music in three- or four-part harmony, and we are also fortunate to have worked with, and commissioned, contemporary British composers. 

The choir meets approximately fortnightly on Sunday mornings (10.30-12.30) between September and June/July, usually at The Cut Arts Centre in Halesworth. There’s an interval to chat and make new friends. 

After Christmas we’ll be learning a new programme of songs and we’re actively seeking more members to join us. If you’re interested, do come along to a rehearsal. You’ll receive a warm welcome and *YOUR FIRST SESSION IS FREE*. There’s no need to be able to read music – songs are taught by ear and recordings are available for home practice. 

Rehearsal dates up to Easter: Jan 12th & 19th, Feb 2nd & 16th; Mar 2nd, 16th & 30th; Apr 13th. All these rehearsals will be at The Cut.

Sketchbook Workshops

Capturing the Season
19th and 21st October

Begin your Botanical Art journey with illustrator and experienced teacher, Ruth Wharrier.

This course will enable you to create your own naturalist’s sketchbook and have the confidence to go out and draw! The focus will be on observational sketching techniques that can be used outside whilst walking and also on detailed drawing techniques that can be used back at home.

Based at Carlton Marshes, the course will allow participants the opportunity to observe and record the changing face of autumn within this stunning reserve. The centre at Carlton Mashes offers an inspiring setting with enviable views out across the marshes and reedbeds.

Carlton Marshes SWT nature reserve, Burnt Hill Lane, Lowestoft, Suffolk, NR33 8HU.
