Visit to the British Museum

Join us for the current exhibition at the British Museum exploring the Assyrian empire and its powerful emperor Ashurbanipal. The history of the Assyrians is closely linked to the history of the kingdom of Israel that is at the centre of the Old Testament. By learning more about the Assyrians we will understand the context of the Old Testament better and gain deeper understanding for some of the biblical texts too.

From the webpage of the British Museum:

“King Ashurbanipal of Assyria (r. 669-c. 631 BC) was the most powerful man on earth. He described himself in inscriptions as ‘king of the world’, and his reign from the city of Nineveh (now in northern Iraq) marked the high point of the Assyrian empire, which stretched from the shores of the eastern Mediterranean to the mountains if western Iran.”

Please sign up by the 2nd of February to be included in the group ticket by emailing Carla (carla.maurer@swisschurchlondon.org.uk). You can also decide to join at a later stage, but you would then have to buy your own ticket at the British Museum.

Meeting point: Wednesday, 13 February, 11:30am in the main entrance hall (allow enough time to go through the security gates).

Itamar Zorman, violin

The recipient of an Avery Fisher Career Grant and a Borletti-Buitoni Trust award, joint winner of the 2011 International Tchaikovsky Competition, Itamar Zorman has appeared with, among others, the American Symphony Orchestra in Carnegie Hall, Het Gelders Orkest in the Concertgebouw, the Tokyo Symphony in Suntory Hall, as well as the Jerusalem Symphony, Israel Philharmonic, Haifa Symphony, Polish Radio Chamber Orchestra, Südwestdeutsches Kammerorchester, Philharmonie Baden Baden, St. Petersburg Philharmonic, and Russian State Symphony Orchestra. His performance with the United Strings of Europe will mark his London debut.

Franck Fontcouberte, conductor

Formerly an orchestral percussionist, Franck Fontcouberte forged his craft with David Robertson, Zoltan Pesko, Armin Jordan and Pierre Boulez. Professor of Orchestral Conducting at the Conservatoire for the Region of Montpellier, Franck is Principal Conductor and Artistic Director of Orchestre ‘Contrepoint’, Director of the Chorale de Sète and Artistic Director of the festival ‘MusicaSète’. He has been invited to conduct in Belgrade, Kotor, London, Rome, Florence, Athens, Istanbul, Barcelona, Valencia, Salzburg, Riga, Prague, Szombathely, Durban and Johannesburg. He has recorded a number of CDs and DVDs, including Liszt’s Coronation Mass, Verdi’s Requiem, Mozart’s Symphony No. 29 and Great Mass in C Minor, Puccini’s Messa di Gloria and Bartok’s The Miraculous Mandarin.

Arturo Corrales, composer

Born in El Salvador but established in Switzerland, Arturo Corrales pursued composition studies in Geneva and Lugano with Eric Gaudibert, Nicolas Bolens, Michael Jarrell, Nadir Vassena; electroacoustics with Rainer Boesch, Luis Naón, Eric Daubresse; and orchestral conducting with Giorgio Bernasconi. Winner of the Edmund Pendleton Prize in 2004, co-founder of the Ensemble Vortex in Geneva, Corrales has a Masters in Musicology from Paris VIII Univeristy where he studied with the composer Horacio Vaggione.

Imbued with a resolutely experimental approach, his creative work is often inspired by ethnic and popular sources. Constantly attentive to the formal coherence of his works and to the control of their projection in space and time, he wants to facilitate the expression and perception of a “liveable and human” music.

Alongside his activities as a composer, performer and conductor, Arturo Corrales teaches the guitar and is a professor of composition and analysis at the Conservatoire Populaire in Geneva; he was recently awarded a Doctorate in Musicology from the University of Geneva, with a very honorable mention and unanimous praise from the jury.

21 July at 11:00 Sunday Service at Swiss Church,London

Come and join us on Sunday 21 July at 11:00 am for our Sunday Service. It will be led  by our Minister Reverend Carla Maurer.  Her Sermon will take the story of Jesus cursing the fig tree as her starting point.

The Bible is full of great stories which are part of our cultural heritage and collective knowledge. Who hasn’t heard of Adam and Eve, Noah’s Ark, the Ten Commandments, David and Goliath, the creation of the world, or Jesus walking on water? Novelists and artists refer to these stories in their works, and they are popular children’s tales too. They fascinate and inspire people around the globe and across cultures, and religious affiliations.

The sermon is part of our "The greatest Hits of the Bible" sermon series, which  started in January and will run until the summer break at the end of July.

In The Swiss Church, everyone is welcome to join in Communion, whatever their faith tradition might be. We worship in the Reformed tradition and have an ecumenical outlook.

Our hymns and liturgy are in English, French and German, and accompanied on the Späth organ, played by our Director of Music, Peter Yardley-Jones. The service will be conducted by our Minister Revd. Carla Maurer. The sermon is in English. Printed copies, including a large-print version will be available at the Service.

Please stay for lunch after the Service. It is an excellent opportunity to get to know people and to chat. You will be most welcome. If you would enjoy the opportunity to chat in Swiss German, or French, come and join us. We all speak English too, and a number of other languages as well. We look forward to meeting you all - friends, new and old.

London City Pilgrimage

Perhaps we associate pilgrimage rather with rural areas than with a metropolis, and yet to discover a city from a pilgrim’s perspective has its very own charm. In collaboration with Reverend Michael Schaar from the pilgrimage centre in Zurich, we invite you to put on your hiking shoes and to join us on this spiritual journey. A group from Zurich will travel to London to get to experience our city in a new light. It would be wonderful if some members of the Swiss Church and the Swiss community in London would join the group to build new friendships and tell our visitors more about life in London.


Programme


Tuesday, 27 August:

From Limehouse to Angel along Regent’s Canal. Visit of St Paul Old Ford Church, Victoria Park and St James Church.


Wednesday, 28 August:

Parkland Walk from Finsbury Park to Alexandra Palace. Visit of Highgate Cemetery.


Thursday, 29 August:

Meeting at the Swiss Church in London (morning). Street pilgrimage in Central London or free time (afternoon).


Friday, 30 August:

Along the Thames from Shepperton to Hampton Court (Weybridge Ferry route).



Members and friends of the Swiss Church can participate in the whole programme or join in for individual days. We ask for a donation of £10 per day. Bring your own lunch. Evening meal in a restaurant (optional).


To sign up please contact Carla (carla.maurer@swisschurchlondon.org.uk) by 15 July. We are also looking for volunteers to welcome the group at the Swiss Church on Thursday, 29 August.
