SUMMARY:Chopin's Best Works
DESCRIPTION:Chopin favourites by candlelight\, a recital for solo piano by Magdalena Wajdzik. These concerts are “a series of classical music concerts aimed at democratising access to classical music by allowing people all over the world to enjoy live candlelit music performances … by creating intimate experiences where fans can connect directly with their favourite artists”. The specific plus is illumination by thousands of candles\, with a programme that does indeed look quite inviting (even if “best” does set the bar rather high; at these prices a high bar is the least you can expect for a one-hour show). \n\nThe programme: \n\n\nNocturnes op.9 n.2\nNocturne in C sharp minor\nPolonaise op.44\nPrelude op.28 n.4\nPrelude op.28 n.15 ‘Raindrop’\nFantaisie-Impromptu op.66\nValse op.64 n.2\nValse op.69 n.1\nScherzo op.31 n.2\n\nThere are three performances during the day at 4pm\, 6pm and 8pm.

SUMMARY:Féminin Pluriel: Beyond the City – Chapter 2

SUMMARY:Délicieux: dir Éric Besnard (2020)
DESCRIPTION:The French do films about food really rather well. This tale of a pioneering restaurant around the time of the Revolution is a sweet and savoury tribute to food\, pleasure and égalité at a particularly piquant moment in French history\, filmed with painterly intent by cinematographer Jean-Marie Dreujou and acted with simmering passion by Grégory Gadebois and Isabelle Carré. Both need to feed their desire for revenge against the local aristocrat\, but along the way they decide to create the very first restaurant in France … \nIn French\, with subtitles. The price shown is for non-members; for AF members it’s AED 35. Either way it includes a glass of wine and canapés before the film.

SUMMARY:Candlelight: Beethoven's Best Works
DESCRIPTION:The title of this concert certainly sets the bar high\, though it seems a pretty good selection of the composer’s works for piano. The pianist is Magdalena Wajdzik\, and the other plus is the way these recitals are lit by candlelight. The programme last around 65 minutes: \n♦ Piano Sonata op.13 ‘Pathetique’ – 1st\, 2nd and 3rd movements\n♦ ‘Für Elise’ (Bagatelle no.25 in A minor)\n♦ Piano Sonata No.17 op.31 (The Tempest) – 1st and 3rd movement\n♦ Piano Sonata op. 27 No.2 (Moonlight) – 1st\, 2nd and 3rd movements\n♦ ‘An die Freude’ (aka Ode to Joy – transcr. Liszt) \nThe programme lasts about 65 minutes; there are performances at 5pm\, 7pm and 9pm. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Revoir Paris: dir Alice Wincoer (2022)
DESCRIPTION:Wincoer’s gently searing drama is loosely based on the Bataclan concert hall attack in Paris in 2015 (her brother was a survivor). Virginie Efira is excellent as Mia\, a woman struggling with the trauma of having survived a brutal assault on a restaurant in the centre of town that left behind dozens of victims; as the title implies\, the film is about memory – remembering Paris as it was\, remembering life as it was. The acting is good\, the photography a paeon to the city. Recommended. \nIn French with English subtitles. \n  \n
