By TW Editorial | Published on Monday 26 May 2014
And the LDN-based events the ThisWeek team is tipping today are….
COMEDY: Mark Cooper-Jones – Geography Teacher | Hen & Chickens Theatre | 1 Jun – 7 Jul
Swimming solo for the duration of tonight’s show, smart and silly WitTank tadpole Mark Cooper-Jones, a real-life part-time ‘Geography Teacher’, workshops a (presumably) updated take on his back-to-school Edinburgh Fringe hit of 2012. Details and tickets here.
MUSIC: Japanese Clarinet | The Space | 1 Jun
Like Japan? And the music that’s native to it? Love woodwind too? If so, this recital (which features the East London Clarinet Choir playing a programme of scores by Chang-Su Koh, Satoshi Yagisawa, Akira Toda, Masamicz Amano, Chieko Arai, and in contrast, some Japan-inspired homages by Brit composers like Jeffery Wilson), is just the £10 ticket to fit your requirements. Details and tickets here.
MUSIC/ART: LCMF – Italian Colourism | Peckham Multi Storey Car Park | 1 Jun
Now in its third year and still flourishing, the multi-disciplinary London Contemporary Music Festival, or LCMF for short, closes with one last show shining a light on Italian masters Domenico Scarlatti, Salvatore Sciarrino, and Michelangelo Pistoletto, showcasing late composer Scarlatti’s famed keyboard sonatas, the premiere of Sciarrino’s seventh and ninth string quartets, and ‘Ten Less One’, Michelangelo Pistoletto’s mirror-themed live performance piece, which finds him taking a hammer to some glass. Details and tickets here.
