Dear Reader,
|
|
When children connect with nature, alchemy
happens. I was awash with beautiful stories this week from Michael and
Clare Morpurgo who set up their charity Farms for City Children some 47 years ago. They were issuing a (softly
spoken) rallying cry at the House of Lords to engage their guests to
aid them in their endeavours to help as many deeply deprived children
as possible to come and spend time on their farms where, even in just a
few days, remarkable change can occur. My girl crush author Katherine Rundell – whose books rival (dare I say it) those of Sir
Michael himself – was one of the guests. For children unable to
get out into nature, the single biggest game changer for their future
prospects is parents reading to them. Stories ignite imagination and
you couldn't find any two better writers to dazzle young minds with.
Rundell’s The Golden Mole should be obligatory reading whatever
age you are.

Have a great week.

WHAT’S EXCITING ME THIS WEEK

|
|
Sponge
Cities
|
|
It cannot have escaped your notice that this week has
– for many – been a wash out. As the climate crisis intensifies, the
UK is going to expect more unsettled weather patterns, including more rain.
Find out here what
plans may be afoot to make London a sponge city – and what you can do as an
individual.

What is The
Fortune Hotel?
|
|
Another week, another televisual concoction to get us
stuck to our sofas. This time it’s The Fortune Hotel, touted as like The Traitors but set in the
Caribbean and with Stephen Mangan rocking a Hawaiian shirt rather than
Claudia’s smiley-faced elbow patched knit. I know who’s going to win the
style stakes, but viewer impact? Let’s see.

Summer tones
The culmination of
another spectacular classical music season at the Southbank
Centre is on the horizon – but there’s still plenty to enjoy and
be surprised by in the final weeks of our Spring/Summer 2024
programme.
Experience the music
of Shostakovich like you've never seen it before; enjoy a
performance full of the unexpected from master of the french horn
Ben Goldscheider; witness innovation in the making from composer
and soprano Héloïse Werner; and definitely don’t miss the Greek
goddesses of organ music, Ourania Gassiou and Eleni Keventsidou,
who continue our celebration of the Royal Festival Hall organ.
If that wasn’t enough
to set the summer off on a high note, classical music brings the
sounds of the world to the Southbank Centre this July, with our
brand new music festival, Sound Within Sound, featuring
live concerts, immersive sound installations, riverside DJ sets
and free events for all.
