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.

THE POWER OF PLANTS

Saturday 8th February 2020 The Power of Plants 
Lecturer: Timothy Walker
The Arts Society West Surrey Area Invites
you to a lecture morning.

Open to Members and non-members alike.

Venue: The Clockhouse,
Chapel Lane,
Milford
Surrey
(a couple of minutes off the A3
just south of Guildford at GU8 5EZ)
 
 
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 EXHIBITION AT TATE BRITAIN

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
