Come study the Bible with us!
We are currently reading through the book of Acts and discussing it as we go. We try to understand the meaning in the scriptures and then apply it to our lives.

This workshop is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with your true self.
Dao Tran-Boyd will lead us through a powerful mix of nervous system education, somatic movements and an immersive sound bath at her studio in Parsons Green.

Come as you are, leave feeling lighter, clearer and deeply restored.

A bold new creation by pianist-narrator Pavel Timofeyevsky and his colleagues.
Not lectures. Not concerts.
These narrated performances are an art form in themselves - where piano, voice, and story ignite to bring forgotten histories, hidden passions, and musical revolutions to life.
Pavel fuses music and narrative into living theatre, where history breathes, scandals burn, and forgotten voices sing again. These aren't "talks with music."
They are musical stories come alive - dazzling, intimate, unforgettable.
"The Woman Behind the Genius" (First in a 5-part Series titled "How Women Changed the Music World)
She was the muse, the obsession, the secret dedication.
Immortal Beloved. For Elise.
The piano confesses, the voice reveals - the women behind history's greatest men step into the spotlight at last.

PROVENCE, 1920
Ettie moves through the remote farmhouse, silently creating the conditions that make her uncle's artistic genius possible.
Joseph, an aspiring journalist, has been invited to the house. He believes he'll make his name by interviewing the reclusive painter, the great Edouard Tartuffe.
But everyone has their secrets. And, under the cover of darkness, Ettie has spent years cultivating hers.
Over this sweltering summer, everyone's true colours will be revealed.
Because Ettie is ready to be seen. Even if it means setting her world on fire.
Join us to discuss this blockbuster novel. The location will be communicated to registered participants nearer to the date. For any queries, contact Claudia at eveningbookgroup@kcwc.org.uk

Cecil Beaton – ‘The King of Vogue’ – was an extraordinary force in the 20th-century British and American creative scenes. Renowned as a fashion illustrator, Oscar-winning costume designer, social caricaturist and writer, Beaton elevated fashion and portrait photography into an art form.
Cecil Beaton’s Fashionable World is the first exhibition dedicated solely to Beaton’s ground-breaking contributions to fashion and portrait photography. The exhibition will showcase Beaton at his most triumphant – from the Jazz Age and the Bright Young Things, to the high fashion brilliance of the fifties and the glittering, Oscar-winning success of My Fair Lady. Via London, Paris, New York and Hollywood, his era-defining photographs captured beauty, glamour, and star power in the interwar and early post-war eras.
For this lecture, we welcome back Anne Haworth; freelance lecturer and guide at the V&A and is an accredited lecturer for the Arts Society. She worked for the Royal Collection for 15 years, giving private tours of the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace as well as exhibition lectures. She has given many Know Before You Go exhibition talks for KCWC's Antiques and Design group, including for the V&A's ground-breaking retrospective exhibitions on Christian Dior and Gabrielle Chanel and also for 'Shoes: Pleasure and Pain', to name just a few. Remembering the glamour and elegance show-cased in the V&A past exhibitions on 'The Golden Age of Couture' (2007-8) and 'Horst: Photographer of Style' (2014-5), she is particularly excited about the upcoming exhibition 'Cecil Beaton's Fashionable World' at the National Portrait Gallery. Anne's lecture and powerpoint presentation will introduce the exhibition to KCWC members before their visit.

If you saw the film or play 'Amadeus' you may think Antonio Salieri was a bitter court composer who was jealous of Mozart's talent. But did you know that in reality he was a wonderful composer who also taught Beethoven? Join us to find out just how good he was when we go to see his two-act comic opera 'Falstaff' based on Shakespeare's 'Merry Wives of Windsor'. There will be a fantastic cast of young singers and an outstanding period-instrument orchestra presenting this afternoon opera performance supported by Continuo Foundation. Homemade focaccia, amaretti biscuits and drinks will be available before the show and in the interval.
