Editorial A LIFE WELL SPENT John Minshull - 24 March 1936 - 6 July 2024 We were saddened to hear of the passing of John Minshull on Saturday 6th July. Another of the giants from the Natural History Museum, and a loss to both the Museum and the environmental world in general. John graduated from Rhodes University in 1958 as an entomologist and as a result always had an interest in all things creepy crawly. His first job with his young wife Jacqueline was at Lake Sibaya, and in 1968 he joined National Parks and Wildlife Department as a Fish Research Officer on Lake Kariba and then Lake Kyle. He joined the Queen Victoria Museum in Harare as Ichthyologist in March 1978 after completing his Masters in Tropical Resources Ecology and in October of the same year he took over as Director. With the restructuring of National Museums and Monuments in 1981 John stepped down as director and he, his collection and his family moved to what became the Natural History Museum of Zimbabwe in Bulawayo where both he and his wife worked as curators for many years. John took early retirement in 1992 and went teaching at CBC and consulting on farm dams and fish farms. He then joined ACOL chemicals where he was tasked with writing up years of research while he mastered the art of typing and the ways of a computer! John was an avid reader with many interests and his later years he was studying human evolution and bacteria!! And was a fountain of knowledge on many things. He loved jazz music and had played the double bass, collected stone age implements, loved aloes and cacti, was a Bowls Maestro, and always wore his beloved hat, long socks, and khaki. He has a great sense of humour and conversations were always lively and centred around a beer or two! John was best known by all for his contribution as an ichthyologist, ecologist, and fisherman with many complaints that his 'Fishes of Zimbabwe' was out of print and copies hard to find. His contribution to aquatic science was considerable, his fieldwork in Zimbabwe extensive and the size and scientific value of the museum fish collection is his legacy to the nation. He will be missed by all, and our deepest condolences, thoughts and prayers go to his daughter Pippa and his grandchildren. A life well spent.

BROADCHURCH - SERIES 3 DI Alec Hardy has returned to Broadchurch CID, after some time away. When a local woman is sexually assaulted, he makes it his mission to find out who is responsible - but will it be at a cost to his relationship with his daughter DS Ellie Miller has rebuilt her life after Joe Miller was found 'not guilty' by a jury for the murder of Danny Latimer - a crime that he is unequivocally guilty of. Ellie is bringing up her sons as a single mum, caring for her elderly father and back on the team at Broadchurch CID. Beth Latimer is attempting to move on with her life, and hopes she has found new purpose, in a job which puts her own harrowing experience to good use. Beth is trying to help other people, but still struggling to keep her own family on the right track. - It's quietly brilliant. Radio Times - I'm going to stick my neck out and predict another serious case of national Broadchurch fever. [Independent] - It's brilliant by both Colman and Tennant again, a portrait of a close working relationship that is at times tetchy, at others bordering on close friendship, but always convincing and so very human. [Guardian] - It looks like this superlative drama might bow out on a high. [Daily Telegraph] Admission: US$2.50 [free to Film Members] FRIDAY 12 JULY AT 6.30 P.M. THE KING AND I Deborah Kerr and Yul Brynner star in this classic musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein which scarcely needs an introduction! When nineteenth century English schoolteacher Anna Leonowens is employed by the King of Siam to educate his many children, she takes her son, Louis (Rex Thompson), along to live with her in the royal palace. Anna, a strong- willed woman, soon clashes with the king, who is used to having his every wish adhered to without question. - If you don't see The King and I, believe us, you'll be missing a grand and moving thing. [New York Times] - Classic performances, classic score, the best Rodgers & Hammerstein screen adaptation. [Las Vegas Review] - It's a glorious musical, by far the best Rodgers-and-Hammerstein show ever filmed. [Maclean's Magazine] - All the ingredients that made Rodgers & Hammerstein's The King and I a memorable stage experience have been faithfully transferred to the screen. [Variety] Admission: US$2.50 [free to Red Carpet Members] TUESDAY 16 JULY AT 6.30 P.M. EMMA PRICE (CELLO) & JEANETTE MICKLEM (PIANO) Emma Price will be well remembered as the most outstanding student of recent years and we're delighted that she's able to give a full concert with Jeanette Micklem who needs no introduction! Emma's interest in the cello originated in a schools concert given by the Junior Odeion String Quartet in 2011. She started lessons the same year with Cynthia Pretorius which continued until Cynthia passed away, and from 2014 she went to Amy Macy, travelling regularly to Harare and later continuing over Skype. She studied piano and theory at the with Rose Green as well as working with Adri Botha in between lessons with Amy. After obtaining a distinction for her Grade 8 exam, Emma had on-line lessons with Sally Pendlebury, until her acceptance by the Purcell School for Young Musicians in Watford, UK where she studied under Pal Banda and Richard Jenkinson. In 2021, 2022 and 2023 she attended the Morningside Music Bridge Programme held at the New England Conservatory in Boston USA. This programme was instrumental in cementing Emma's love of cello playing and her determination to make it her career. She has been accepted into the Julliard School in New York where she intends to major in cello performance. Her programme will include music by Bach, Davidov, Franck, Janaek and Judith Weir. A snack supper will be available after the concert, price $5.00, but MUST BE BOOKED IN ADVANCE!. Admission: US$5.00 [free to Red Carpet Members and students] FRIDAY 19 JULY AT 6.30 P.M. FROM THE PROMS: MUSIC BY BEETHOVEN, NIELSEN, RIMSKY- KORSAKOV AND WAGNER The Promenade Concerts begin on 19 July and the programme will include works from four Proms across the years. Rimsky Korsakov: Russian Easter Festival Overture Beethoven: Piano Concerto No.4 in G major Wagner: Tannhauser Overture Nielsen: Symphony No.4 - 'Inextinguishable' - Andreas Haefliger belongs to that elite group of interpreters, one of the most serious, questing pianists on the circuit today, a complete Beethovenian. [The Telegraph] - [Nielsen] The music's conflicts between astringency and reflection, bracing energy and idyllic tranquillity were impressively drawn into a taut, virile symphonic argument. [The Telegraph] Admission: US$2.50 [free to Red Carpet Members] FRIDAY 26 JULY AT 6.30 P.M. VERDI: LA TRAVIATA La Traviata is one of Verdi's best-known operas, the tragic tale of Parisian courtesan, Violetta, who attempts to leave the life she knows behind to try and finally find true love. When she meets romantic, Alfredo, the hypocrisy of upper-class society threatens their love - and someone must pay the ultimate price. This lavish production of Verdi's masterpiece features two of opera's biggest stars, Renee Fleming and Ronaldo Villazon with James Conlon conducting the Los Angeles Opera Orchestra and Chorus. - Here, in a lavishly Hollywood-worthy production is a star-turn Traviata that will please almost everyone. All of the principals are good actors, and musically the level is as high as it gets these days. [Classics Today] - Anyone looking for a superb performance of La Traviata should look no further. The singing is wonderful, as you would expect from these artists, and the production is of the best. [Amazon] - The Los Angeles performance moved me more than any other Traviata has done in years; [Gramophone] - Fleming's appearance and overall portrayal suits the staging and she sings superbly.
