SUMMARY:EA Festival (Book Launch): Building Britannia by Dr Steven Parissien
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Steven Parissien\, will talk about his new book\, Building Britannia: A History of Britain in Twenty-Five Buildings\, with EA Festival director\, Joanne Ooi. Join us in the Landscape Studio for a wonderful evening of literature\, architecture and British history! \nBuilding Britannia is a chronicle of social\, political and economic change seen through the prism of the country’s built environment\, but also a sequence of closely observed studies of a series of intrinsically remarkable structures: some of them beautiful or otherwise imposing; some of them more coldly functional; all of them with richly fascinating stories to tell. \nDr. Parissien tells both a national story\, tracing how a growing sense of British nationhood was expressed through the country’s architecture\, and also examines how these structures were used by later generations to signpost\, mythologise or remake British history. \n£12 a ticket\nBook your tickets directly with EA Festival here. \nAbout Steven\nDr Steven Parissien is Director of Studies and Departmental Lecturer in Architectural History at the University of Oxford\, Fellow of Kellogg College\, Oxford and Interim Director of Gainsborough’s House. \nBorn in London and raised in Chesham\, Buckinghamshire\, Steven obtained both his undergraduate and doctoral degrees from Oxford. He has worked in the heritage\, arts and education sectors for over thirty years and has written extensively on architectural and cultural history.

SUMMARY:Art and Beauty: The Life and Work of William Morris (2nd lecture in the series)
DESCRIPTION:Friday 23 and 3o June 2017 \nExplore the work of the artist\, designer\, conservationist\, and socialist William Morris\, whose ideas laid the foundations for the Arts & Crafts Movement and revolutionised the appearance of Victorian crafts and the home. \nA man of prodigious talents and energy\, Morris urged his contemporaries to “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful\, or believe to be beautiful”. His insistence on artistry\, craftsmanship and quality helped revolutionise the late-Victorian interior and left a legacy that is still significant today. This course explores his art and ideas. It includes a discussion of Morris’s genius as a designer of flat pattern in textiles and wallpapers\, and his collaboration with Philip Webb\, Dante Gabriel Rossetti\, Edward Burne-Jones and other artists associated with Morris & Co. It also reviews the development of Morris’s ideas about craft and society and the evolution of his political beliefs. And the course describes his role in the creation of the Aesthetic and Arts and Crafts phenomenon. \n Lecturer: Jo Banham\, curator of William Morris and the Arts and Crafts Movement\, Juan March Fundacion\, Madrid\, 2017 \nCoffee & Pastries included\n£30 for the two lectures\nTo book: call 01787 372958\nor mail@gainsborough.org

SUMMARY:C. F. Abel Concert: Polish Discoveries
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special event to celebrate Sonia Wronkowska’s extradinary musical discovery. The evening will begin at Gainsborough’s House with three pre-concert talks and then at The Quaker Meeting House for the first performance outside London of the recently discovered music by eighteenth century composers Abel and Lidel. \n  \nSonia Wronkowska made the discovery of at least 23 unknown viola da gamba sonatas by Carl Frederick Abel (1723-87) from the collection of Count Joachim Carl von Maltzan (1733-1817)\, now at the University of Poznań. Maltzan was Prussian ambassador in London from 1776 to 1782 and seems to have been an amateur viola da gamba player\, one of the circle of pupils and admirers of Abel that also included Thomas Gainsborough. What makes the discovery so exciting is that the new sonatas are mostly mature\, sophisticated and virtuoso works\, composed for Abel himself to play in his celebrated London concerts; those known hitherto are nearly all undemanding teaching pieces. Abel was the greatest viola da gamba player of his day\, and was a supremely elegant and accomplished composer\, to be ranked with his friends John Christian Bach and the young Mozart. \n  \nMark Caudle\, who will lead the concert\, divides his time as a viola da gamba virtuoso between East Anglia and Poland\, and has appeared at Suffolk Villages Festival many times\, most recently at this year’s Festival in Monteverdi’s Coronation of Poppea. \n  \nPre-concert talks 5.30pm\, Gainsborough’s House \nGainsborough and Abel \nMark Bills \nAbel and the Viola da Gamba\nPeter Holman \nAn Exciting Discovery\nSonia Wronkowska \nConcert 7pm\, The Quaker Meeting House\, Sudbury \nMark Caudle\, Viola da Gamba\nTeresa Kamińska\, Cello \n

SUMMARY:Bonaparte and The British
DESCRIPTION:This is the story of the greatest ever self-made man told through a brilliant but vanished art form – caricature \nNapoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) rose to power during the turbulent decade after the French Revolution. He brought order to France\, but war continued with the old European regimes. While the British government was never reconciled to him\, many Britons admired him. This talk shows how the visual arts promoted conflicting views. \nAdults: £7.50\nChildren/Students: Free\nConcessions: Free
