By TW Editorial | Published on Thursday 10 October 2013
TODAY IN LONDON innovative theatre co Aria Entertainment, Icelandic composer Olafur Arnalds, sitar star Anoushka Shankar and late artist Whistler feature in the following TW-recommended events…
ART: An American In London – Whistler And The Thames, Dulwich Picture Gallery, 16 Oct – 12 Jan (pictured)
Whilst American artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler is probably most famed for a portrait of his mother, it’s his time in London in 1859-ish that’s this major showcase’s main order of the day. An array of rarely-on-display drawings, prints, pastels and pantings culminates in his portraits of iconic Nocturnes of Thames-side sights like Battersea Bridge and Chelsea. Details and tickets here.
MUSIC: Olafur Arnalds/Anoushka Shankar, Fabric, 16 Oct
Painting a broad sonic horizon via this mixed Fabric bill for all seasons, Icelandic nouveau classicist Olafur Arnalds and stellar sitar player (and daughter of Ravi) Anoushka Shankar play selections from their solo back caches and respective new LPs – his, ‘For Now I Am Winter’, and hers, ‘Traces Of You’. Details and tickets here.
THEATRE: Blood Wedding, The Courtyard, 16 Oct – 16 Nov
Spanish poet-playwright Federico Garcia Lorca’s ‘Blood Wedding’, the life-inspired saga of love, fate and vengeance, and warring families, is realised at The Courtyard by Aria Entertainment. Details and tickets here.
