Beethoven Quartet No 11 in F minor, Op 95 Serioso
Our Associate Artists begin their latest concert with three of the 15 fantasias that the 21 year old Purcell composed in a two-week period in 1680.
Originally written for viols, the works have become favourites for string quartets. Beethoven’s quartet, the last from his so-called ‘middle period’ is one of the shortest of the 16 he wrote. The composer dedicated to his close friend, Nikolaus Zmeskall von Domanovetz, and declared that it was intended for a small circle of connoisseurs, never to be publicly performed.

Introduction to Spatial Data and Using R as a GIS
In this one-day online course (taught over two mornings) we will explore how to use R to import, manage and process spatial data.
We will also cover the process of making choropleth maps, as well as some basic spatial analysis.
Finally, we will cover the use of loops to make multiple maps quickly and easily, one of the major benefits of using a scripting language to make maps, rather than traditional graphic point-and-click interface.

Different voices: Reflections on love, leadership, power and campaigning for change (13:00)
A Law School lunchtime seminar by the Stefan Cross Centre for Women, Equality and the Law.
Abstract: From the perspective of the last few years of leading a women’s criminal justice charity, Kate will share some reflections on leadership, campaigning for change, the power of academic research (especially feminist analysis) and how our use of relational language and theories can help create the world we want to see. Kate will touch on various feminist analysis with a particular focus on Carol Gilligan’s ‘In a Different Voice’. This will be an interactive session with some reflections from Kate and then a discussion about how ‘different voices’ and the ethical frameworks of care and justice can help make change happen across the ‘different worlds’ of academia, charities and the civil service.
Speaker Bio: Dr Kate Paradine is currently a Visiting Fellow at Southampton University’s Stefan Cross Centre for Women, Equality and the Law. Having completed her undergraduate degree and Phd at Southampton, and led the Law Faculty’s Law & Discrimination Course in the late 1990s, Kate went on the spend a decade in the civil service, working on various areas of police training, policy and strategy and leading on the project to transfer services from the National Policing Improvement Agency to the College of Policing.

KATE RAWLES | THE LIFE CYCLE – ADVENTURE IN THE ANDES (20:00)
The Life Cycle biodiversity bike ride
Kate Rawles cycled the length of South America following the spine of the Andes – the longest mountain chain in the world. Her vehicle was ‘Woody’ a bike she built herself with bamboo from the Eden Project in Cornwall.
The aim of her largely solo ‘adventure plus’ ride was to explore and champion biodiversity. What is it? Why does it matter? What is happening to it – and above all – what can we do to protect it?
Kate’s route took her through an astonishing range of landscapes and ecosystems, from the Caribbean coast to the classic high, spikey white mountains of the Peruvian Andes; from rain and cloud forests to the Atacama Desert and the Bolivian salt flats. Throughout the journey she met with those at the frontlines of nature conservation. This included a school whose entire curriculum was based on turtles; a project to save the smallest monkeys in the world; local forest champions; anti-gold, copper and lead-mining activists; an ancient, sustainable fishing fleet and a member of the Peruvian senate. Kate returned inspired, shaken and hopeful.
Join us and find out why Kate believes biodiversity loss is as important as climate change. She shows us why deep systemic change is needed to tackle these interconnected challenges to people and planet.
Presented by the Royal Geographical Society in association with Turner Sims

Stem Cells and organoids: a future for complex translational biology (09:30)
We are holding a one day symposia sponsored by the FELS Mental Health initiative and IFLS Cell biology theme to showcase the potential, possibilities and local expertise in human stem cell and organoid biology. These reduced systems of complex human biology are already serving an important focus for Life Sciences research. They act as a pivot in the transition between molecular and cellular investigation as they build complexity toward tissue, organ and completely animal research. Of course, studying biological principles in a human context makes these experimental systems an important future for human research. This places the technology at the forefront of translational biology across a number of important domains encompassing drug discovery, toxicology, and genetic basis of disease and offers potency in therapeutic approaches to regenerative medicine. The day will introduce exciting science and aim to establish routes to grow infrastructure and networking across the University to facilitate uptake and use of this technology in our research portfolios.
The confirmed speakers are:
- Davide Danovi (Kings College London)
- James Armstrong (University of Bristol)
- Mercedes Beyna (Biogen)
- Salah Elias (University of Southampton)
- Sandrine Willaimie-Morawek (University of Southampton)
- Nicole Prior (University of Southampton)
- Janos Kanczler (University of Southampton)
Round table discussion of expertise and infrastructures.
There will be a small post meeting social event for those that can attend, this will start at 4pm.
Full programme to follow.

A SOUTHAMPTON SUMMER NIGHT 2023 (19:00)
It’s time to pack your picnic and dust off your dancing shoes – A Southampton Summer Night is BACK! This year, we’ve invited The Art House CIC to guest curate the evening, and once again it’s a perfect celebration of the wealth of unique musical talent in Southampton.
From 6.30pm Bring your picnic and blanket and join us in the stunning gardens at Highfield Campus outside Turner Sims. The foyer and bar will be open with its usual range of beers and wine, or you could try our Summer Nights cocktail or treat yourself to a delicious organic ice cream.
Make the most of The Art House To Go on sale in the foyer tonight! Made with lots of love, their delicious vegan snacks, pastries and cakes (with low gluten options available) will make the perfect addition to your Summer Night picnic.
7pm – 7.45pm in the foyer: Babsie Brown and the Miniature Orchestra
Start your evening in the Turner Sims Foyer, as four fully grown humans play dark tunes on ridiculously small instruments. Babsie Brown and The Miniature Orchestra are taking over the world via the medium of tiny things. It looks kinda funny, but sounds remarkably rad.
8pm – 8.45pm in the auditorium: Spitdust
Spitdust create cinematic soundscapes from a patchwork of original modern folk and experimental rock. The resulting futuristic sound takes you on a journey quite unlike anything you’ve experienced before. They often draw upon the retro-futurist nostalgia of 1960s and 1970s counterculture and science fiction. Their 2019 album Mirror People was a reimagining of traditional English music in a post-industrial age. In their latest album The Silent Star, the world has come to an end, its echoes drifting through outer space.
8.45 – 9.15pm in the foyer: Albert de Lyon Interval Walkabout
During the interval, make sure you bump into golden grandee Albert de Lyon. Under the exclusive management of entertainer Guy Heathcote, Albert is one of Hampshire’s most distinguished and decorated big cats. When not combing his mane, polishing his crown or napping under the nearest tree, you may catch him playing paw-tapping tunes on his trusty squeezebox, ‘Samba’. Alternatively, he might be in the mood to share one of his many dexterous party tricks, which are sure to earn a roar of approval. Or perhaps he’ll simply drop in for a purr-sonable chinwag with his adopted pride? It’s always hard to tell with Albert… and who’s going to argue with an actual LION???
9.15pm – 10pm in the auditorium: Pip Summers and the Wandering Waterbears
A showcase from Southampton singer-songwriter Pip Summers. Wherever there is music and good vibes, you can find her somewhere close by, singing her heart out to an ever-growing, appreciative crowd. Expect a finely-tuned balance of controlled, chaotic fun, honest and heartfelt (but tuneful) screaming, and an emotional earnestness that runs through everything this Shouty-Acoustic transfemme multi-instrumentalist does. Tonight, she is joined by her band of merry boys, The Wandering Waterbears.
10pm – 10.50pm in the foyer: DJ Sir Hubert Carpet
Head back to the foyer, where the bar is still open and the music is playing. Sir Hubert Carpet may be better known to many as Paul Bickmore (or ‘Bik’), one of the founding directors of The Art House CIC. Bik’s roots lie deep in ambient, downtempo and psychedelic genres. Expect tribal beats, electronic textures, psytrance and an ethereal worldbeat fusion with a smattering of ambient house. It will be a transcendent musical journey into vibrant sonic colours and pulsating rhythms. Feel the beat. Shuffle your feet.
IN ADVANCE: Standard £14 Friends £12.60 Students & under 18s £7
ON THE DAY: Standard £17 Friends £15.30 Students & under 18s £9
A Southampton Summer Night 2023 is guest curated by the Art House CIC in partnership with Turner Sims

The 6-piece Grammy-nominated Cimarrón are led by vocalist Ana Veydo. They perform joropo dance music from the cattle-rearing plains of the Orinoco, rooted in a deep tradition defined by the mestizo mixed heritage of African, Spanish and indigenous cultures. Cimarrón make wild, untamed music that preserves the spirit of freedom found in one of the world’s most untouched regions. Fast-paced and powerful, their music combines impetuous singing, amazing stomp dancing and fierce instrumental virtuosity of strings and percussion.
