The Steinberg Duo are rapidly establishing themselves as one of the few performers to present violin and piano repertoire as an equal partnership with recent performances in Canada, Spain and Germany and throughout the UK.

BAROQUE ENCOUNTER
GLENN KESBY counter tenor
LAUREN BRANT recorders

VIRTUES AND VICES

Inspired by the Moral Cantatas of Telemann mixed with music from London’s Pleasure Gardens.  Moral improvement was the aim of the poetry at the core of Telemann’s Moral Cantatas and other publications of the day, whereas the popular Pleasure Gardens allowed (and encouraged) their visitors to enjoy all aspects of nature and life – even the seedier side.  

The ensemble has been acclaimed for their mix of authentic, historically aware performances delivered with informality and passion!

The Club's exclusive bar and lounge are open for the enjoyment of ticketholders half an hour before the performance. The performers also invite you to join them there after the performance.

Tickets: £15 / £12 concessions (includes a pre-concert drink)

(card transaction fee applies)

'UNDERGROUND' (1928) - Silent Film screening

Wed 03 July 2013
6.30pm - bar, 7.30pm - screening

UNDERGROUND (UK 1928)
Directed by Anthony Asquith
With Elissa Landi, Brian Aherne, Norah Baring, Cyril McLaglen
Live (improvised) piano accompaniment by Costas Fotopoulos

Running time 94min
Rated U

We are pleased to introduce the very first silent film evening at the Club with a screening of ‘Underground’, BFI’s acclaimed restoration of Anthony Asquith’s subterranean tale of love, jealousy and murder. 

As London celebrates the 150th anniversary of the London Underground this year ‘Underground’ takes us back to the bustling public corridors and carriages of the 1920’s, the behaviour of the passengers is strikingly familiar! 

Did you know?  At 1901 Arts Club we feel quite a connection to the Underground.  In the 1990’s (before the Club was established) our building enjoyed a period as a site office for London Underground during the Jubilee Line extension. 

Providing the live and entirely improvised piano accompaniment is Costas Fotopoulos.  Costas has been working for many years as an improvising silent film pianist at BFI Southbank and has also accompanied silent films at the Barbican Centre, the Prince Charles Cinema, Riverside Studios, Chelsea Arts Club, the National Film and Television School and the Birkbeck Cinema among other venues. 

The Club's exclusive bar and lounge are open for the enjoyment of ticketholders an hour before the screening commences and will remain open after the film.

Tickets: £8 / £6 concessions

(card transaction fee applies)

THE ART OF CHEESE MAKING - O Toma O Morte

Wed 17 July 2013
6.30pm - doors/bar, 7.00pm - begin (estimated duration 2 hours)

THE ART OF CHEESE MAKING
O TOMA O MORTE

A WATERLOO FOOD FESTIVAL event

Presentations and Q&A by local purveyors of quality cheese, O Toma O Morte, and leading British cheesemakers… with free samples!

Previously respected cheese mongers in their own right,  two friends – Ian and Gian - decided to join forces to spread the word and cut the curd. In some circles they are known as the “Dark Knights of Cholesterol”.  Ian’s roots are split between London and Lincolnshire (as a farmer’s son), and that’s the place of his particular speciality.  Gian’s roots are split between London and Varese in Italy, and the regional “toma” from those Alps are his speciality.  They stock a range of stunning English, French and Italian artisan cheese which is constantly changing according to the seasons and of course their own personal whims.  Their slogan is “O Toma O Morte” and their policy is clear – try everything first.

The Club's exclusive bar and lounge are open for the enjoyment of ticketholders half an hour before the event.  After the event the cheese market stall and the bar will remain open for purchases.

Tickets: £10 (including cheese and a glass of wine)

(card transaction fee applies)
or CONTACT THE CLUB to reserve your tickets and pay by cheque.
