The performance in Russian language. "I remember a wonderful moment..." is a charming tribute to a great Russian poet Alexander Pushkin. This dreamlike compilation of scenes picked out of Pushkin's fairy-tales and poems is led by the "Author" himself. Although in this production we do not follow through the individual story lines, we still somehow become completely immersed in the beautiful world of love, kindness and true human feelings. That might be love between a man and a woman, love for nature or for ones homeland. Pushkin's timeless poetry combined with the exotic dancing and strikingly rich directorial style makes this show a genuine gem, providing an easy introduction to stage for its young stars.

Handpicked from amongst the most talented music college graduates in the UK, these apprentice musicians join the Orchestra for a year of mentoring, performance experience and education work, culminating in the chance to perform together as a group in concert at Southbank Centre. The Foyle Future Firsts scheme bridges the perilous gap between advanced musical training and regular paid work in the profession; a gap which often sees gifted musicians lost to non-musical careers. Since the scheme was launched in 2004, past Foyle Future Firsts have obtained both work and full-time positions with some of the UK’s leading professional orchestras. The Foyle Future Firsts programme is generously funded by The Foyle Foundation with additional support from the Musicians Benevolent Fund.

Ever wondered how you could make your journey into London more planet-friendly? Honegger’s steam-train-inspired Pacific 231 might not lower your carbon emissions too much, but Prokofiev’s ‘sleigh- ride’ Troika could well do, Wagner’s flying Valkyrie horses are certain to, and the fifty elephants of Stravinsky’s extravagant spectacle Circus Polka might slow you down, but at least they’re exempt from the congestion charge!

Mr McGregor from Beatrix Potter’s Tale of Peter Rabbit certainly has an affection for ‘birds and fishes and beasties’– particularly when they’re served up on a plate! This enchanting musical version of the story by Stephen McNeff rubs shoulders with a rather more inedible feathered creature, Stravinsky’s spectacularly powerful Firebird. But beware of the prowling beasts that are waiting in the wings courtesy of Matthew Hindson, whose new work Dangerous Creatures is sure to scare, delight and enthral!

An exciting array of art forms will be on display, with pieces varying from sculpture and drawing to moving image. The exhibition showcases the most recent work of four students from Kingston University, named Laia Lopez, Hannah Luxton, Rosemary Moore and Christina Wilmowski. Their varying social backgrounds bring a dynamic cultural multiplicity to their creative practices. Although each artist’s work differs to that of the others, the subject matter of their pieces often overlap and intertwine. This is the result of the artists having shared perceptions and interests, and having worked closely together for two years. Hannah Luxton’s work is the product of her ongoing attention to detail. She is particularly interested in how weather conditions such as fog, heavy rain or certain types of light affect how our surroundings look. For Laia Lopez, repetitive acts are key to her art practise. Her work refers to various aspects of a person’s life; for instance, she documents a person’s accumulated belongings and maps the choices that an individual can make. Christina Wilmowski’s work challenges ideals of the physical body in our society. She uses atypical sculptural materials, including those with surgical connotations (like tubing and cloth) to provoke reflections on body consciousness. Rosemary Moore’s drawings examine the complexities of everyday relationships. She explores, for instance, the perceptions and misconceptions that can arise from bonds with other people.

'...it’s a real SCREAM...' ‘High School Musical’ meets ‘Halloween’ in this exciting new musical comedy. A group of high school kids rehearse their end-of-year musical in a derelict theatre on a tiny island in the middle of a river.

Introducing the next phase of British Rock music at its best led by the mighty SoulParade, a cool collective trio, fronted by Daniel Handley on vocals/guitar, Tom Copley on Bass and Fabien Walheim on Drums. Their chilled out yet piquant approach to an array of genres makes it hard to squeeze this parade onto one defining street. An indie rock infusion, experimenting with the likes of indie rock, alternative, groove and reggae with echoes of Radiohead, Coldplay, Snow Patrol, even U2 and a touch of Led Zep thrown into their influence behind their great sound and wickedly catchy tunes! Soul Parade are refreshing to hear, their exuberant attitude is highlighted in forthcoming single tracks such as ‘Untouchable Love’ and ‘Light the fuse’, creating a spark within your musical taste buds. The heavier, driving and poweful nature of their last track, the much acclaimed and political 'Ill Topics' rounds off the offering for the debut EP single Signed to Out of Bounds Music, with Paul Handley as their innovative executive producer and manager bringing this new raw talent to the masses. With the North of England holding onto the indie reigns tightly, Soul Parade originating from North London are finally about to buck the trend and are definately a band set to take over, with songs that will reach millions! Releasing their much anticipated first EP in September, it is clear that Soul Parade will have the girls in a fluster and create an unforgettable and untouchable stir within the industry. Check out their MySpace to marvel at their sound from demos of two of the songs which are being re-recorded for the single. Or even better see them playing Filming will be taking place for DVD material! We look forward to seeing you there! Make sure you join us and watch history in the making one more time at The Barfly! info@outofboundsmusic.co.uk T:0208 245 2911 www.myspace/soulparadeuk www.outofboundsmusic.co.uk http://shows.vivastreet.co.uk/shows-listings-ads+london-w12/steven-severin-live---music-for-silents--/7919878 http://shows.vivastreet.co.uk/shows-listings-ads+london-w12/steven-severin-live---music-for-silents--/7919878 Kaparte Promotion present: Steven Severin ‘Music for Silents’ 3 July 2008, London Bush Hall Steven Severin, founder member of Siouxsie & The Banshees and acclaimed solo artist presents his new score to the 1928 surrealist classic "The Seashell & the Clergyman" plus a programme of scores to short films by emerging avant garde film makers AURA SATZ, BRUNO FORZANI and HELENE CATTET. The Seashell & The Clergyman Directed by Germaine Dulac, from an original scenario by Antonin Artaud, the film was premiered in Paris on 9 February 1928. ‘Arguably the first example of Surrealist cinema, this dark, erotically-charged film is an hallucinatory story of tormented desire, guilt and conflict. With daring imagery, startling effects and a sense of the absurd’. This is Steven Severin first solo show and exclusive London date.
