Lunchtime Recital @ St Lawrence Jewry + Talk: Making Sense of Modern Art +Social

Another Two for One event just for you! A lunchtime recital (where a cuppa cost a quid!) and one of our regular talks @ Guildhall Library and also a 'Spoons' Social at Crosse Keys Pub!!!

To start: Let's visit this golden nugget of a church St. Lawrence Jewry for a Lunchtime Recital. Located next to the historic Guildhall, St. Lawrence Jewry is the official church of the Corporation of London and seeks to be a beacon of Christ's light and peace in the midst of the bustling City.
There has been a church on this site for almost a thousand years, with the current building designed by Sir Christopher Wren in 1670.
Music recitals have been a regular feature at St Lawrence Jewry since they were introduced by Margaret Cobb (the church organist at the time) in 1957.
The programme is formed to create an invaluable platform for both professionals and conservatoire students to perform in a prestigious central London location.

Today we will hear:
Valentina Wang & Kosta Popovic Piano, Cello
deFalla

After this, we'll nip along to the Guildhall Library which is just around the corner for their Lunchtime Lecture: Making Sense of Modern Art

They say: Society changed more rapidly in the twentieth century than at any time in the previous four thousand years. So did art. This lecture will explain many modern movements and the artistic response to political and social upheavals, including both World Wars, which inspired some masterpieces of modern art. Recent decades have seen a questioning of the nature and language of art, with post-modernism and the Turner Prize. Join Arts Society Lecturer Val Woodgate to learn more.

We'll then meander along to: The Crosse Keys 'Spoons' for an eats and drinks social.

I have got the tickets for the talk for our group and I will meet you by the entrance of the St. Lawrence Jewry Church, which is in Guildhall Yard.
