Joys of Christmas: CALAT’s German language session this Saturday includes an introduction to festive markets…
CALAT – Croydon Adult Learning And Training – is working in partnership with Croydon Libraries to bring you a fantastic festive fair to celebrate Christmas 2022.
It all takes place at Purley Library this Saturday December 10 between 11am and 3pm.
Sessions include:
Art History – talk on Miles Davis – 11.30am start
Jazz maestro: an interactive talk about Miles Davis is one of the sessions on offer this Saturday
We’ll be taking a look (and a listen) at some of Miles Davis’s key works, the context in which they were created and explore how his work developed from his beginnings in modern jazz.
Davis emerged at a time of great artistic, social and political upheaval.
This interactive and immersive presentation will look at how these factors influenced his life and his immeasurable impact on music in the 20th Century.
You’ll be in good hands as your host will be Mark Huggett who, as well as teaching art history at CALAT, runs the independent jazz label, Jazz Direct.
