Harrow Choral Society Spring Concert
2024-03-23 17:30 - 20:30 | Harrow School, Speech Room, 5 High Street, Harrow on the Hill, HA1 3HP, United Kingdom
Spring Concert 2024
Harrow Choral Society has started rehearsals for its Spring Concert at Harrow School Speech Room on Saturday 23rd March when the choir will sing works by Mendelssohn, Beethoven and Vaughan Williams under the baton of Music Director, Sam Evans. The 90-strong choir will be joined by professional soloists and by the Byron Ensemble as well as by their regular accompanist Paul Ayres on organ and piano.
The combination of tuneful and inspiring music and the historic setting of Harrow School Speech Room, which has recently undergone a major refurbishment, promises a memorable evening for performers and audience alike.
The programme includes melodious and expressive works which convey a range of moods and emotions. The Hymn of Praise is the choral element of Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 2, which the composer described as a ‘symphonic cantata’. With its lively fugues and stately chorales the Hymn of Praise owes much to the influence of Bach whose music was such an inspiration for Mendelssohn.
Vaughan Williams’s sublime Five Mystical Songs are settings of religious poems by George Herbert, reflecting the composer’s lifelong fascination with the liturgy and music of the Anglican church. In contrast Beethoven’s intense and dramatic Elegiac Song commemorates the death of the philosopher and poet Johann Georg Jacobi. In addition to the choral items the Byron Ensemble will play Elgar’s Serenade for Strings, one of the composer’s earliest works and full of youthful vitality.
The concert starts at the earlier time of 5.30 pm. Tickets, which are £25 for adults and £2 for under-18s, may be obtained via the choir’s website at www.harrowchoral.org.uk, by email from boxoffice@harrowchoral.org.uk or by telephoning 07794 253463.

With the start of the Second World War in 1914 Heath Robinson observed that “There was now no demand for purely artistic productions, for new editions of Shakespeare or other classics”. He was then dependent on humorous work for his income. However, from about 1925 respite from the constant need to be funny came from time to time with commissions to provide serious illustrations to short stories and articles in Nash’s Pall Mall Magazine and its sister publication Good Housekeeping.
The exhibition will include illustrations for stories by Richmal Crompton, J. B. Priestly & Gerald Bullett and John van Druten, an English playwright and theatre director.
He developed a distinctive style for these illustrations, very different from his earlier drawings and adapted to the two-colour printing process used for magazines of the time. He also produced a number of full-colour designs for the covers of magazines.
Another artist who was best known for his humorous work, but who also provided illustrations for Nash’s Pall Mall Magazine was Lesley Illingworth. The exhibition will include three examples for his work.

The History of Electricity and the Roles of Two Women in Its Development
2024-04-04 20:00 - 22:00 | Pinner Village Hall, Chapel Lane, Pinner, Middlesex, HA5 1AA, United Kingdom
Their next talk is “The History of Electricity and the Roles of Two Women in Its Development”, by Michael Clarke on Thursday 4th April 2024 8.00pm at the Pinner Village Hall. For 2,000 years electricity remained a mysterious curiosity before the investigations began which led to its present importance. The pivotal contributions of two women, largely ignored by “History”, are recounted in this talk, which shows how they still influence the subject today.
Please come early as it will be popular and encourage your friends too (suggested donation of £3).
