- Enrichment Lecture with Cinematographer Pieter de Vries: Journey to Titanic – a Deep-Dive
- Pieter joined director James Cameron on this extraordinary expedition to survey the wreck of Titanic. Incredible footage and behind-the-scenes stories.
- Enrichment Lecture with Mark Stanton: The Emperor’s New Clothes
- After the Communist revolution, a new Emperor emerged. Now called a Chairman and promising great things for the people of China, Mao Zedong created the next dynasty of China. He realized what had made China great for so long and why and how it now had to rebuild itself. Why did Mao melt all the beds and saucepans in China? Why did he order all of the grass to be pulled up? Why did he order the death of every bird in China? What was the Chinese thinking behind these ideas? How was their society created, and where is the Chinese Empire going now?
TONIGHT’S SHOW – PIANO SHOWMAN CHRIS HAMILTON
With his dazzling technique, astounding versatility, and charismatic personality,
New York critics have described Chris Hamilton as “the real deal” and
“a total showman.” In the UK, The Telegraph hailed him as “an ace pianist.”
Chris began playing the piano at the age of four. After winning several national
competitions, he won a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music, London.
He has performed as a headliner on all the major cruise lines and won the prestigious Silversea Guest Entertainer of the Year 2017.
He headlined a Cabaret Burlesque night at the Savoy Hotel London and the famous Hippodrome. In August 2017, he appeared in a show called “A Spoonful of Sherman” and received rave reviews, including the following: “Star of the show is Chris Hamilton with his sparkling, pitch-perfect accompaniment and occasional show stealers.” In 2017, Chris was a resident performer at The Ned in London, co-hosting Sunday Night at The Ned. He also performs regularly at Crazy Coqs in London’s West End.
Chris is a keen writer, and his first musical, Over The Threshold, for which he wrote the music, lyrics, and book, was critically acclaimed and won the MTM Award for Best Music, leading to a sell-out transfer in London’s West End and a production in Vienna. In 2014, he wrote a piece for the English National Ballet, performed at the Barbican Theatre. Two of his original songs were featured on TV last year. Chris is gaining fans worldwide who appreciate his prodigious musical gifts, easy charm, and sophisticated performing style. www.chris-hamilton.org.
