Culture corner: What’s going on in the

City this November?

TESSA MARCHINGTON

There are a wealth of events, gigs, historical talks, comedy shows and concerts throughout November.
Get your culture fix now before the Christmas party season drinks up your time and take advantage of
what the City has to offer on the days you’ve commuted into the office.

Pop into the Barbican Library in your lunch hour for an illustrated talk by Nick Dobson about the
extensive travels of Agatha Christie on 10 November from 11-12pm before wandering around the
Gallery and learning more about the world and work of Japanese-American artist Isamu Noguchi, a
creative polymath and the focus of the current exhibition Noguchi. You might then want to go to a
free lunchtime concert at 1pm with Violinist Elina Buksha and Pavel Kolesnikov as part of the City
Music Foundation in the stunning Barts Great Hall.

The Barbican has a full programme of events as always. The Half-Six Fix concerts are back with
the London Symphony Orchestra performing Beethoven’s Eroica Symphony on 10 November;
the Royal Shakespeare Company presents The Comedy of Errors from 16 November and Jamie
Hale presents CRIPtic Pit Party, on the 19 and 20 November, comprising a mixed bill of creative,
political and responsive work by d/Deaf and disabled performers.
