Performing Arts Bulawayo [PAB] and the Academy [Bulawayo]



Lunchtime Talk: Shostakovich and Stalin (15 July)

Thursday 15 July at 1.10 p.m. in Room 25, Zimbabwe Academy of Music

Michael Bullivant looks at the impact Stalin had on the music of Shostakovich.



The Barchester Chronicles (15, 22 & 29 July)

Thursdays 15, 22 & 29 July at 7.00 p.m. in the Robert Sibson Hall

The BBC adaptation of the first two of Anthony Trollope's Barsetshire novels, The Warden and Barchester Towers, stars Donald Pleasance, Nigel Hawthorne, Alan Rickman, Susan Hampshire and Geraldine McEwan.

"The community of Barchester is shaken from its cosy complacency when a newspaper's crusade against the Church of England's practice of self-enrichment misfires. Overnight the Rev.Septimus Harding becomes a pawn in the battle between his younger daughter's beau, John Bold, and his older daughter's husband, Archdeacon Grantly. Little do they realise that worse is yet to come when a regime change delivers Barchester into the hands of a most unholy trinity: the weak-willed Bishop Proudie, his domineering wife and the insufferable Rev.Obadiah Slope."

Admission: $7.00 / R60.00 the series; $3.00 / R25.00 each evening [free to Red Carpet members only]



Cimarosa: Il Matrimonio Segreto (16 July)

Friday 16 July at 6.30 p.m. in the Robert Sibson Hall [with supper interval]

Partly based on the 1766 English comedy The Clandestine Marriage by David Garrick and George Colman, Il Matrimonio Segreto was a widely popular comic opera in its day. Indeed, it is probably the only opera in history to have been encored in its entirety at its first performance. It was so enjoyed by the Emperor Joseph II that he ordered dinner for the cast to be followed by a repeat performance. Cimarosa is often seen as the link between Mozart and Rossini and one writer has remarked that "the joys are similar to those of Mozart, and some of the ensembles in particular, not least the Act I finale, relate directly to Figaro."

The story concerns Geronimo, a wealthy man who is trying to arrange aristocratic marriages for his two daughters, Carolina and Elisetta. However, his plans do not run smoothly since Carolina is already secretly married to Paolino, Geronimo's young secretary, and further complications develop thick and fast. "The greatest compliment for this production, both musically and visually, is that its nearly three hours was too short" [Neue Zürcher Zeitung].

Admission: $3.00 / R25.00 [free to Red Carpet members and subscribers]



Lunchtime Talk: Chopin (22 July)

Thursday 22 July at 1.10 p.m. in Room 25, Zimbabwe Academy of Music

Peter Rollason will introduce a choice of lesser-known music by Chopin.



Beethoven: Fidelio (30 July)

Friday 30 July at 6.30 p.m. in the Robert Sibson Hall [with supper interval]

Beethoven's only opera will be shown in a production from the Glyndebourne Festival which received a four-star top recommendation from the Penguin Guide: "It is good to have as consummate an actress as Elisabeth Söderström as Leonore in this vintage Glyndebourne account of Fidelio, recorded in 1979. Bernard Haitink conducts a powerful performance with Kurt Appelgren a superb Rocco, Elizabeth Gale a sweet Marzelline and Anton de Ridder an unstrained Florestan... John Bury's sets for Peter Hall's production vividly capture the atmosphere of the Napoleonic period. A clear first choice on DVD."

Admission: $3.00 / R25.00 [free to Red Carpet members and subscribers]

Live 'n' Direct @ National Gallery, Harare (July)

The National Gallery of Zimbabwe has for the last six months worked tirelessly towards the launch of the 2010 flagship show Live 'n' Direct which is designed to inspire the artists to produce their best work. The artists have been challenged to reflect deeply and produce cutting edge work that speaks on being proudly Zimbabwean within the global context. The show will run throughout the duration of the 2010 World Cup and will certainly tell the Zimbabwean story with pride and excellence to all the visitors that may care to engage. Foremost though, the show is an engagement with ourselves and the Gallery hopes to inspire the group of high flying local business people that it has already approached to begin their own private collections from the Live 'n' Direct offering.

Association of Complementary Health Practitioners (13 July)

Our monthly gathering on Tuesday, 13 July will be addressed by Mr Roger Castelin, who will discuss YOGA AND SPIRITUALITY. The evening begins at 6.30 pm for 7 pm, and we will be at Highlands Sports Club. Roger has found YOGA to be a wonderful way to relax and find inner peace, and combined with several Yoga exercises, he now practises daily, and life is easier and kinder to him, in spite of the stresses of everyday life here. Join us a learn a little about this.

We enjoy a Bring and Share Supper after the talk, and everyone who attends is asked to contribute a plate of something tasty to the meal. The bar will be open for drinks, and this is a pleasant and congenial time, when one can meet the speaker and share his explanations. We do request a small entry fee, to help cover the cost of hiring the hall, and the gratuities for the kitchen staff. Everyone is welcome, and membership is open to all who are interested in holistic living.

For any queries, please phone Lorna Robinson on 744410.

BirdLife Zimbabwe (BLZ) Mashonaland (15, 17, 18, 25 July)

We have a bird walk almost every weekend – the walk itself lasts 2–3 hours and thereafter the combined bird list is called while refreshments are being enjoyed. We also have a monthly evening presentation on the 3rd Thursday of each month, 5:30 for 6:00 p.m. The venue is the Avondale Sports Club on Brighton Road, between 2nd Street Extension and Upper East Road. There is a bar and eats. There is a security guard to look after the vehicles.

Members and non-members are welcome to attend any of the events.

Unless there is a gate charge by the responsible authorities at some venues (e.g. Haka), there are no other charges associated with a birding outing or evening presentation however at some venues a tip would be appreciated if there is a guard looking after the vehicles. At each outing, there is a leader who will identify the birds being seen for the benefit of the group. There is nothing to stop experienced birders from "doing their own thing" at any of the venues as long as they assemble afterwards at the designated meeting point to participate in the bird count. At most venues, for the bird count, participants will usually have their own chair, refreshments and eats - a social atmosphere prevails!

    MBIRA MAKER BLUES
    A Healing Journey to Zimbabwe
    by Virginia Barrett

    The mbira is a sacred instrument of the Shona people of Zimbabwe. Barrett, an American poet and artist, traveled to Zimbabwe in 2002 and 2004 to study mbira with master musicians.

    In this intimate and compassionate travel memoir, Barrett relives the months spent with these musicians and their families during dire times. What she ultimately learns and experiences extends well beyond the realm of music, venturing into the depths of conflict, love, and survival. What Barrett most poignantly shares with us, however, is the healing wisdom her teachers impart and the sublime beauty they weave through her soul.

    A lively, compelling journey for all readers, not just those interested in Shona music.

    A portion of the proceeds go to help orphans and musicians in Zimbabwe.
