SUMMARY:REJECTS - Artworks by the Royal Academy
DESCRIPTION:REJECTS: A Celebration of Overlooked Artworks by the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. \nNow in its fourth year and previously featured in The BBC\, The Guardian\, and The Art Newspaper\, REJECTS is back this June with a brand-new line-up of artists and artworks that didn’t make it into the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. Each year around 18\,000 artists apply to the RA\, but only about 1\,500 make the cut\, leaving a whole lot of talent that might otherwise go unseen. \nHoused in a quaint 19th-century bakery on Notting Hill’s iconic Portobello Road\, this year’s exhibition provides a defiant spotlight for these brilliant\, overlooked works. Spanning painting\, sculpture\, photography\, textiles\, and mixed media\, the show features a fresh mix of emerging and established artists reclaiming their space on the summer art calendar. Expect a range of bold statements and thoughtful storytelling\, from bright\, joyful paintings and embroidered buildings to hauntingly beautiful figures. \nWhether you’re an art collector or just art-curious\, Art Friend welcomes everyone to the gallery. So you can decide for yourselves: did the judges make the right decision? Come be the critic and see which artworks make your cut. And if you really love a REJECT\, you can buy it and take it home with you\, as all the artwork on display is for sale. \nOpening Night Drinks: Thursday 18 June & Friday 19 June\, 5–9 pm Join us for drinks\, music\, and a first look at this year’s REJECTS. \nWhy REJECTS matters: REJECTS isn’t just an exhibition\, it’s a movement. It highlights how much talent is out there and how many people face rejection on a daily basis\,we have all been rejects once! So come join the club\, root for the underdog and enjoy seeing what talent has been given a second chance.

SUMMARY:A Professorial Lecture by Professor Ioannis S. Pantelidis
DESCRIPTION:“Hospitality as a regenerative force for human connection\, wellbeing and leadership” \nIn this lecture\, Professor Ioannis S. Pantelidis examines the changing landscape of hospitality and tourism and shows how the sector can create regenerative ecosystems through innovation\, behaviour and human-centred leadership. Intelligent systems\, data-driven personalisation and rising experiential expectations are transforming service environments\, yet the true source of excellence remains the human touch. Hospitality cultivates empathy\, cultural awareness\, agility and the practical art of caring for others. These qualities strengthen leadership across health\, business\, transport\, the creative industries and every area where human interaction shapes success. At a time when isolation and mental health concerns are increasing\, the values of hospitality become even more significant. Warm service\, genuine welcome and meaningful moments support emotional well-being and deepen social connection. Drawing on research\, education and lived experience\, Professor Pantelidis offers an optimistic and thought-provoking vision of a sector that continues to evolve while remaining rooted in human values that can guide society toward stronger communities and more compassionate leadership.

SUMMARY:What Nature Tells Me – Orchestra for the Earth
DESCRIPTION:What Nature Tells Me\n\n\nAlpine Tour Launch Concert\n\n\n\n\nSaturday 20 June 2026 · 7.30pm \nSt John’s Waterloo\, SE1 8TY \nPublic booking is open. \nPrice – Pay what you can (suggested: £15) \nOrchestra for the Earth launches its 2026 Alpine Tour\, What Nature Tells Me\, with a London concert at St John’s Waterloo on Saturday 20 June\, before travelling by train and coach to Austria for a series of performances and education projects in places closely connected to Gustav Mahler’s life and music. \nNow in its ninth year\, the Alpine Tour has become one of the orchestra’s defining projects: an ongoing exploration of the relationship between music\, landscape and listening\, centred on Mahler and the Alpine environments in which much of his music was conceived.\nThe 2026 programme\, What Nature Tells Me\, traces a single musical arc through Mahler’s life\, from the freshness and folk-like early songs to the profound stillness of ‘Der Abschied’ (‘The Farewell) from Das Lied von der Erde (‘The Song of the Earth’). The London concert features\nrising British baritone Michael Lafferty\, with Mahler’s works arranged for chamber orchestra by conductor John Warner. \nThe programme also includes the world premiere of Eat Your Rage\, a new commission by London-based composer Zhenyan Li\, whose work has been performed by ensembles including the London Symphony Orchestra and Ensemble Modern. The commission is a response to Mahler’s musical evocations of nature and forms part of OE’s ongoing commitment to placing new music alongside established repertoire within the same artistic and environmental context. \nFollowing the London launch\, the orchestra travels to Austria from 22–26 June\, including a performance at the Gustav Mahler Festival in Steinbach am Attersee\, where Mahler spent several summers composing\, and a concert on an open-air stage in Steinach am Brenner\, another\nplace closely associated with his summer retreats. When Bruno Walter visited Mahler in Steinbach in 1896\, he marvelled at the surrounding landscape. Mahler replied simply: “No need to look around — I have already composed it all.” The Alpine Tour returns that idea to its source\, placing the music back into dialogue with the\nenvironments that helped shape it. \nMarina Mahler\, Founding Patron of Orchestra for the Earth\, said: “It is deeply moving to see my grandfather’s music brought back into the landscapes that inspired it\, and to see young people included in that experience. This kind of thoughtful\, living engagement with Mahler’s work is both true to its origins and urgently relevant now.” \nWhat Nature Tells Me takes place at St John’s Waterloo\, London\, on Saturday 20 June 2026 at 7.30pm. \nLondon is the home to several dynamic String Ensembles\, including soloists and String Quartets. They are available for hire from Music for London.
