The Swiss Church in London, the Swiss Benevolent Society and the Swiss Embassy present to you:
Book presentation with author Simone Müller
“Alljährlich im Frühjahr schwärmen unsere jungen Mädchen nach England”
Author Simone Müller reads extracts from 11 portraits of Swiss women who emigrated, published in her latest book. They came to the UK in their hundreds before and after the Second World War, rising to thousands in the late Forties and Fifties. A mass exodus of women, without parallel in the history of Switzerland. They worked as housekeepers, nannies and companions. The historical aspects of the extensive repatriation initiatives, organized by the Swiss Embassy in London in October 1939, are also described. Readings in German, followed by Q&A in English.
When: Friday, 26 January, 1-3 Uhr
Where: The Swiss Church in London, 79 Endell Street, WC2H 9DY
What: Coffee and cake, Reading from the book (in German), talks, Q+A, book signing

'Allusion to a Body no Longer Present' by Sara Rodrigues and Tyler Eash, curated by Camille Brechignac and George Watson
“Allusion to a Body No Longer Present” is made of four main elements: a stage-like installation, a performance, a conversation room, and two audience-engaging events. The work, created specifically for the Swiss Church, deals with questions of impermanence, legacy and significance, heightened by the location within a church.
"We appreciate that the Swiss Church has been created through a community effort in itself, and that it takes joy in welcoming people from all paths of life. This community is thus at the heart of the work, and we hope that the project will reach beyond traditional art audiences."
Find out more about the project, artists and curators here.
Opening night: Thursday, 1 March, 4-8pm
Performances: 1 March 7pm, 10 March 5pm, and 16 March 7pm

The centrepiece of Collegium Musicum of London’s summer concert, commemorating the end of World War One, is Vaughan Williams’s impassioned plea for peace Dona nobis pacem.
The composer wrote the cantata in 1936 amid fears that a new global conflict was looming. It takes the form of six movements, with the poetry of Walt Whitman – as well as passages from both the Mass and the Bible – providing the text. The phrase Dona nobis pacem (‘Give us peace’) punctuates the entire work.
Soloists Augusta Hebbert (soprano) and Michael Hickman (baritone) will appear alongside actor Brendan Charleson, in an evening of choral music and readings to mark the 100th anniversary of the Armistice in 1918.
By coincidence, the same year saw the death of C. Hubert Parry, whose visionary work My Soul, There Is A Country, from the Songs of Farewell cycle, will feature in the programme.
Also included in the concert is the work of one of England’s most popular early-20th-century composers, George Butterworth, whose short life was curtailed by a sniper’s bullet on the Somme in 1916. His rhapsodic setting of A.E. Housman’s exquisite collection of verses
A Shropshire Lad will be performed by Michael Hickman, accompanied by Andrew Tait on piano.
With a sprinkling of popular songs from the era, alongside heartrending dispatches from the trenches, Dona nobis pacem promises to be a poignant and fitting tribute to all those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the Great War.
Tickets £16, £14 (concessions)
available on the door, in advance
