SUMMARY:An Italian in England: A Musical Tribute to Francesco Ticciati (1893–1949)
DESCRIPTION:St Mary’s Church\, Old Amersham \nSoprano Betty Makharinsky and pianist Pavel Timofeyevsky present a musical homage to the life and legacy of the Italian-born composer\, pianist\, teacher and musical pioneer Francesco Ticciati. \nFrancesco Ticciati\nBorn in Rome in 1893\, Ticciati settled in Britain during the 1920s\, building a distinguished career as a performer\, lecturer \nand composer. He appeared at the Proms\, became a British citizen in 1936\, and during the Second World War devoted himself to bringing music and encouragement to servicemen through concerts and lectures. In his later years he made his home in Amersham\, where he fostered a thriving musical community through his concerts\, teaching and tireless advocacy for the arts. \nThis programme traces the story of an “Italian in England” through music that shaped Ticciati’s life and career. Alongside songs by Ticciati himself are works by Sir Paolo Tosti\, another Italian musician who found a second home in Britain\, together with songs by Bellini and Rossini\, celebrating the rich tradition of Italian song. Piano works by Scarlatti and Chopin recall repertoire frequently featured in Ticciati’s own recitals\, while music by Mozart and Beethoven reflects the broader European tradition that formed the foundation of his musical world. \nThe programme also honours the wartime spirit of music-making through Myra Hess’s celebrated transcriptions of Bach\, evoking the courage\, resilience and solace that music brought to Britain during the darkest years of the twentieth century. \nPart concert\, part musical portrait\, this evening celebrates the life of a remarkable musician whose journey from Rome to Amersham left an enduring mark on British musical life.

SUMMARY:Talk: Sainsbury’s - a Family\, a Grocer and a Social History since 1869
DESCRIPTION:Price including glass of wine or soft drink.\nIn 1869\, John and Mary Sainsbury opened their first shop in Drury Lane\, which was then one of London’s poorest areas\, selling butter\, milk and eggs. At a time of dubious safety practices\, their objective was “to sell the best butter in the world” with an insistence on high quality and standards\, combined with keenly competitive pricing. \nSince those humble beginnings\, Sainsbury’s has grown into one of our largest and most successful retailers with 23 million customers every week\, 150\,000 colleagues and a product range of tens of thousands of items. Yet the imperative of providing great quality food at fair prices remains as central to the company’s culture today as it was to John and Mary. \nTim Fallowfield OBE was born in Amersham in 1963 and some of his earliest memories are of his Mum taking him shopping in the Sainsbury’s counter shop at 5 Chiltern Parade\, Sycamore Rd\, which had opened in 1937. In 2001 Tim joined Sainsbury’s as General Counsel and Company Secretary and was a Board Director for 20 years until his retirement in 2024. \nTim became Chair of the Sainsbury Archive on his retirement\, having been one of the founding trustees when it was established as a charity in 2003. The Archive’s Collection is one of the leading business archives\, not only plotting the history of the company and grocery retailing\, but also providing an absorbing social history of Britain since Victorian times. More than 100\,000 items have been digitised on the Archive’s website( www.sainsburyarchive.org.uk). \nIn this talk\, Tim will weave these elements together\, and will explain how the Archive has worked together with the London Museum as it prepared for the opening of the new museum in the historic Smithfields Meat Market in November 2026. \nNotes\nThe talk will be in the Museum’s Woodcock Room which on the first floor\, accessed by a platform lift.
