Tuesday 7 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m.
South African based vocal duo Shirilaulu presents their recital "100 Tongues", which debuted at this year's Grahamstown National Arts Festival. The name Shirilaulu is a combination of "shiri" - the Shona word for bird - and "laulu" - the Finnish word for song.
Shirilaulu was formed in 2009 and gave their debut recital in Grahamstown in May this year. They have also performed in Hogsback (Eastern Cape), and are currently planning to record their first CD. The group has performed other recitals in Grahamstown, as well as performances at several soirees. The group consists of Rhodes University music students Yemurai Matibe (soprano), Lotta Matambo (mezzo-soprano) and Peter Cartwright (piano). Their repertoire includes works by Puccini, Mozart, Delibes, Mendelssohn and Rossini.

The scramble for an inheritance is the basis for this classic black comedy starring Peter Cook and Dudley Moore as well as Michael Caine, Peter Sellars, Tony Hancock, Ralph Richardson, John Mills and others too numerous to mention! Mills attempts to do in brother Richardson with help from family cohorts in order to be the sole survivor of a tontine...
Admission: $3.00
Rossini: La Cenerentola [Cinderella] (17 December)
Friday 17 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. – with supper interval.
La Cenerentola is Rossini's take on the Cinderella story – no fairy godmother or magic tricks, but ugly sisters, a charming prince and bracelets rather than glass slippers to help the dénouement! Appropriately enough, Rossini began work on the opera on Christmas Day 1816 and, if not as well known as The Barber of Seville, it is in no way inferior – and this is a marvellous performance with Cecilia Bartoli in the title role. The production is a traditional one with evocative sets and delightful costumes whilst it's hard to imagine the music being better done.
Admission: $3.00 /R20.00 [free to Red Carpet members and subscribers]
A Christmas Carol (23 December)
Thursday 23 December in the Robert Sibson Hall at 2.30 p.m.

Admission: $3.00
The Merry Widow (31 December)
Friday 31 December, Robert Sibson Hall at 7.30 p.m. – with supper interval.
We intend to celebrate New Year's Eve at the Academy with a spectacular version of Lehar's The Merry Widow and a special three-course dinner.

DRAMA, THEATRE & SPOKEN WORD
Apokalupsis @ Theatre in the Park (to 18 December)
Featuring: Brezhnev Guveya, Tatenda Mangosho, Peace Mukwara, Florence Mhungu, Rumbidzai Karize and Chipo Phiri.
Written by: Blessing Hungwe; Directed by: Patrick Tembo; Produced by: Daves Guzha.
Apokalupsis literally means final catastrophe, the end of time, and the beginning of a new dawn ... But in this case is change an unachievable fantasy failing to exist amongst mortals???
The play, Apokalupsis, is an explosive, humorous and well-crafted political satire set in pre-colonial Africa but imaginatively engages with the socio-political and economic developments of the day. The year is 1802; the reigning king of an ancient African kingdom is caught in the vortex of inevitable change.
Natural and supernatural forces in the form of droughts, pestilence, and uprisings from his family members prove that the king's once prosperous land is under siege. Faced with a powerful opposition whose strength stems from the people's support, the king finally gives in and agrees to share power hoping to end the crisis. This however proves not to be the end but the beginning of the real drama.
A striking tale that finds its relevance in Africa heralding the present power struggles, nepotism, greed, women empowerment, and tribalism.
The play will run from to 18 December at 5.30pm and 7.30pm everyday except for Sundays & Mondays and is the last play of the season. Tickets are US$3 & US$2. Venue: Theatre in the Park (Near National Art Gallery)

This fun workshop inspires kids to Learn While They Play. They get a chance to shine and evaluate themselves in the four categories.-dancing, singing, acting and photo-modeling. All they need to bring is lots of imagination, a free spirit and comfy clothes and shoes. The rest is up to the KIFOC TEAM.
Singing with the well-known Jazz singer Dudu Manhenga has become a huge hit with the kids and dressing up with Rahim Solomon the acting coach, is great fun too. Hats, costumes and props galore are used to transform kids into many different characters and fulfil their fantasies in front of the camera.

BirdLife Zimbabwe (BLZ) Mashonaland (12 December)
We have a bird walk almost every weekend – the walk itself lasts 2–3 hours and thereafter the combined bird list is called while refreshments are being enjoyed. We also have a monthly evening presentation on the 3rd Thursday of each month, 5:30 for 6:00 p.m. The venue is the Avondale Sports Club on Brighton Road, between 2nd Street Extension and Upper East Road. There is a bar and eats. There is a security guard to look after the vehicles.
Members and non-members are welcome to attend any of the events.
Unless there is a gate charge by the responsible authorities at some venues (e.g. Haka), there are no other charges associated with a birding outing or evening presentation however at some venues a tip would be appreciated if there is a guard looking after the vehicles. At each outing, there is a leader who will identify the birds being seen for the benefit of the group. There is nothing to stop experienced birders from "doing their own thing" at any of the venues as long as they assemble afterwards at the designated meeting point to participate in the bird count. At most venues, for the bird count, participants will usually have their own chair, refreshments and eats - a social atmosphere prevails!

Listed below are the events for the next two weeks.
Sunday, 12 December 6.30 am Lake Chivero Bird Sanctuary
Thanks to its woodland and lakeshore habitats the Sanctuary is home to several resident species. In December, however, the specials to look out for are the migrant warblers, e.g. Willow Warbler, Marsh-warbler and Sedge Warbler. Meet at Marimba Shopping Centre, Samora Machel Avenue West.
Association of Complementary Health Practitioners (14 December, 12 January)
14 December
Our next meeting will be held on Tuesday, 14 December, at 6.30 for 7.00 pm. at Highlands Sports Club.
Our talk will be as follows:
In 2007, Rosie Mitchell and Sarah-Joan Nott set off on an incredible adventure into the unknown - to an enormous island off the east coast of Africa, home to over 250 000 species of flora and fauna - Madagascar. Of those, 150 000 are found nowhere else on earth! And despite the ravages of mankind's careless agricultural practices, which in 2000 years have destroyed more than 90% of the forests which were the precious habitats in which most of these fascinating species live, many of these extraordinary endangered creatures stubbornly continue to hold on by a thread. Come and meet some of these, especially the enchanting lemurs, when Rosie gives her illustrated talk on this exciting trip to a strange and wondrous land, and hear about the history of this amazing country, and the reasons for both concern and also hope, about the future of these rare flora and fauna.
Our talk will be followed by a bring and share supper and the bar will be open, all are asked to bring a contribution towards the supper. A small donation will be requested at the door to cover the hire of the hall etc. All are welcome.
12 January
Our talk and supper for January will be held on 12 January, at Highlands Sports Club at 6.30 pm for 7 pm.
Our speaker will be Bridget Pringle Wood, who will tell us about the very interesting and fairly new Light Therapy she uses, which has had very positive results with the people who have been treated. She will demonstrate the machine which is bio-stimulative and encourages the body to do the healing without the need for medication. Bridget will talk about the many conditions for which it can be used, and says it is a simple concept, which will speak for itself. I am sure everyone will find it a worthwhile subject to learn about, and to utilise when needed.
Everyone is welcome. There is a small donation requested at the door, to cover the expenses of hiring the hall etc, and everyone who attends is asked to bring a donation towards the supper, a simple plate of anything tasty, buffet style. The bar will be open for drinks.
