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.

SUMMARY:Alison Cotton + Ecka Mordecai Concert
DESCRIPTION:Upset The Rhythm presents… \nALISON COTTON\nECKA MORDECAI\nWednesday 1 July\nThe Old Church\, Church St\, Stoke Newington\, London\, N16 9ES\n7.30pm | £15 | Tickets: https://link.dice.fm/z09756e9c72e \nALISON COTTON is a London-based composer\, vocalist\, and multi-instrumentalist whose music centres on viola\, harmonium\, and layered vocal drones. Originally from Sunderland\, she first emerged in the UK underground in bands including Saloon\, The Eighteenth Day of May\, and more recently\, The Left Outsides before beginning her solo career in 2018. Her debut\, All Is Quiet at the Ancient Theatre introduced her long-form\, place-inspired approach to composition. This was followed with Only Darkness Now and The Portrait You Painted of Me\, both acclaimed for their immersive atmospheres and emotional depth. All three albums appeared in The Quietus’ End of Year lists\, with Only Darkness Now topping their New Weird Britain chart and The Portrait You Painted of Me was also Folk Record of the Month in The Guardian. \nIn 2024\, Cotton released Engelchen\, a work inspired by the lives of Ida and Louise Cook and their efforts to help refugees escape Nazi Germany. The album deepened her interest in narrative composition\, blending historical research with her distinctive drone-based sound. Her records have been released by Rocket Recordings\, Feeding Tube Records\, Cardinal Fuzz\, Bloxham Tapes and Clay Pipe Music. Cotton continues to explore drone\, experimental folk\, and narrative forms\, establishing herself as a singular voice in contemporary experimental music. For this show Cotton will be playing music from a new album and will be accompanied by Mark Nicholas on percussion\, harmonium and synths. \nECKA MORDECAI is an artist based in London. Situated between sonic\, performative and olfactory disciplines\, her work is driven by sensation: entwining cello\, horsehair harp\, voice\, eggflute\, scent and improvisation into time-based objects expressive of emotional complexity.

SUMMARY:Historic Homes of Hampstead Village Guided Walking Tour

SUMMARY:The Long Play Sessions : Stuart Braithwaite with Spaceships over Glasgow
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an intimate and electrifying evening with Stuart Braithwaite\, founding member of Mogwai\, as he discusses Spaceships Over Glasgow: Mogwai\, Mayhem and Misspent Youth — a raw\, funny and deeply honest memoir of music obsession\, life on the road\, and the strange magic of live sound. \nThis event forms part of The Long Play Sessions\, ICMP’s curated series celebrating artists and writers who shape how we experience and understand music culture. Each session explores the stories beneath the noise — where creativity\, identity and lived experience intersect — offering audiences a rare chance to engage directly with the people who make and document the music that defines generations. \nIn Spaceships Over Glasgow\, Braithwaite traces his journey from a music-obsessed childhood in Scotland to the global stages of one of the world’s most influential post‑rock bands. With warmth\, self‑deprecation and startling candour\, he recounts formative gigs\, life‑changing records\, chaotic tours and the friendships that sustained Mogwai through decades of relentless volume and evolution. \nSet against the backdrop of Glasgow’s fertile underground scene\, the book is both a love letter to live music and an unfiltered account of the realities of life in a band — the exhilaration\, exhaustion\, excess and uncertain balance between creativity and survival. From teenage discovery of Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine\, to tinnitus‑inducing shows and international acclaim\, Braithwaite captures what it means to build a life around sound. \nFar more than a rock memoir\, Spaceships Over Glasgow reflects on youth\, belonging\, and the ways music can serve as escape\, identity and salvation. It speaks to anyone who has ever stood in a crowd and felt their life rearranged by noise — or dreamed of stepping onto a stage and making that feeling happen for others. \nWhat to Expect \n\nAn intimate talk from Stuart\, exploring the stories\, memories and moments behind the book\nInsight into Mogwai’s journey\, Glasgow’s underground music culture\, and the realities of long‑term life in a band\nDiscussion of creativity\, obsession\, touring\, friendship and the sustaining power of loud music\nReflections on youth\, risk\, resilience and the transformative experience of live performance\nAudience Q&A\, offering the chance to engage directly with Braithwaite about writing\, music and Mogwai’s legacy\nBook signing — bring your copy or purchase one at the event\n\nWe look forward to welcoming you to The Long Play Sessions for a candid\, joyful and uncompromising evening celebrating music as a lifelong force — told by someone who has lived it\, loudly and without filter.

SUMMARY:Pup Play: A Queer Pseudo-Lecture (of sorts) - Baron's Court Theatre
DESCRIPTION:THE MULTI-AWARD-WINNING\, INTENSELY CONTROVERSIAL\, AND CRITICALLY-ACCLAIMED COMEDY (of sorts) RETURNS TO BARON’S COURT THEATRE\nBaron’s Court often invites the world’s leading lecturers to give talks on the issues that matter. That’s why Professor Handler David is here to give a lecture on the kink of pup play and teach London how to turn their bitchboys into good boys. What begins as a traditional lecture quickly transcends labels through stand-up\, homonormative puppets\, punk music\, gay sex\, and multimedia visuals to become an emotionally provocative and boldly introspective reflection on queer identity. “Filled with Puppy Power” (Watermark News)\, Pup Play “has a heart the size of Clifford the Big Red Dog.” (Broadway World)Noah Alfred Pantano writes and stars. He has been described by critics as “immeasurably talented” (Broadway World)\, “sharp\, quick\, and uncompromising” (GSCENE)\, and “bold\, brazen and stratospherically cheeky\, concealing beneath the girth of energy a good heart and a probing mind.” (Lost in Theatreland). Pantano was awarded runner-up for “Activist of the Year” at the National Queer Student Awards. His other work Standing On A Nail was the best-selling play of Colchester Fringe in 2023. \nPup Play has won five awards and tours around the world raising over $1400+ (so far) for LGBTQ+ charities.\nThe show features music by Jake and the Nowhere\, Alan Xtra\, and Tungsten Lungs.\nThe profits from this performance will be donated to a LGBTQ+ charity.\nPup Play is sponsored by Mr.Riegillio\, MessyPup\, BoboBear\, Sent With Pride\, and Essex Startups.

SUMMARY:MONUMENT: An Interactive One-Woman Comedy Show
DESCRIPTION:What are we building today — and for whom? \n\nStep into a construction site where past and present collide in this politically urgent and defiantly funny performance\, unfolding across two intertwined narratives. \n1948\, Prague: A society rebuilds after WWII\, driven to construct a monumental symbol of power. An artist is pulled into a system that demands loyalty over integrity – a story inspired by the tragic legacy of Otakar Švec and the Stalin Monument in Prague. \nPresent-day London: As Europe is heading for another war\, Bogdan\, a Polish builder and aspiring rapper\, navigates exploitation and loneliness while constructing luxury flats – the new monuments of our time. \nExpect a formally inventive blend of rap\, live comedy\, and physical theatre. This isn’t just a show to watch – it’s one to build. Audience members become fellow workers\, creating a collective experience that explores the migrant journey\, the ideology of hard work\, and the systems that shape us. \nCreated and performed by Polish-British artist Margot Przymierska\,the production is developed in collaboration with The People Speak. \nPost-show conversation \nAfter the performance\, we invite you to stay for a 20–30 minute post-show conversation led by the Czech Centre Director Tereza Šídlová. This is a chance to unpack the ideas behind the show together – from Eastern European identity and cultural memory\, to what it really costs to “make it” in today’s Europe\, and how these questions resonate in a Czech context now. \n\nTickets: \nGeneral Admission – £10 (+ Eventbrite fee)\nSupporter Ticket (artist support contribution) – £13 (+ Eventbrite fee)\nBOOK NOW

SUMMARY:Transit
DESCRIPTION:How do you pack a life into 23 kilograms? One item at a time. \nTransit is an award-winning\, genre-bending investigation of identity\, belonging and migration. Told through a series of vignettes utilising physical theatre\, multilingual performance\, poetry\, dance\, multimedia\, practical lights and music\, Transit delicately navigates the feeling of being ‘too foreign for here\, too foreign for home.’ \nFrom the endless cycle of unpacking and repacking to wondering when you can stop being considered ‘a foreigner’ to building community and hope amidst uncertainty\, this deeply human piece is a love letter to anyone who has ever moved away from home. \nBased on true stories gathered from migrants across the UK\, Transit asks: what does it mean to settle in the space between languages\, cultures and identities? \nAll performances of Transit are creatively captioned.
