A message from Charterhouse

From the BEO:
Dear residents A ground-breaking exhibition is taking place at the Charterhouse in November, looking at the role of philanthropy in the development of the City of London.  I know that many of you were disappointed not to be able to join one of the recent tours, and this provides an excellent opportunity to visit.  Entry to the exhibition is free, and tours of the entire site will take place at 3pm each Thursday-Sunday at a cost of £10 per head. Additionally, a series of events will be taking place throughout the month which will delve further into the issues that the exhibition explores, most of which are also free.  One very special event that might particularly interest you is a special performance being given by the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.  The Charterhouse is delighted to welcome the Orchestra, who will be led by Laurence Cummings, and music on the night will all be pieces selected from Handel's repertoire (himself a prolific philanthropist). Leaflets are attached outlining full details of the exhibition and its associated events programme. The Charterhouse would be delighted if Barbican residents would like to volunteer their services throughout November as exhibition invigilators.  A training session will take place at the Charterhouse at 4pm on 24th October.  Please email Ainslie Ross, Development Manager (ainslie.ross@suttonshospital.co.uk) if you would like to help. With regards Barbican Estate Office
