Exquisite works for lute and theorbo performed by Paula Chateauneuf in the Tudor splendour of West Horsley Place’s Stone Hall.
Virtuoso lutenist Paula Chateauneuf brings the Tudor past of West Horsley Place to life, performing exquisite works from the Golden Age of lute music by Dowland, Lully and others in the elegant Stone Hall in which Henry VIII himself once dined. In between colourful English dances and flamboyant Italian and French arias, Paula will speak about her beautiful instruments and the programme which is inspired by some of the historical figures connected to the house, including Elizabeth I and Sir Walter Raleigh.

An illustrated lecture by Chloe Sayer
Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera have iconic status in Mexico. Inspired by Aztec and Maya imagery, Rivera’s intricate visual narratives adorn the walls of public buildings. Kahlo, arguably Mexico’s most original painter, made herself the principal theme of her art. This lecture chronicles their turbulent marriage and Mexico’s history after the 1910 Revolution.

Anillustrated lecture by Christopher Bradley
After the Phoenicians settled in the North African ports of Sabratha and Leptis Magna, the Greeks built the magnificent city of Cyrene. The Romans followed with Septimus Severus re-creating Leptis Magna, now a world heritage site, as the finest city in Africa. Hear how the coming of Islam changed the old order.

An illustrated lecture by Alexandra Epps
Peggy Guggenheim was the “poor little rich girl” who changed the face of twentieth century art. Ahead of her time, she discovered and nurtured a new generation of artists and through collecting not only their art but the artists themselves, her life was as radical as her collection.
