Rosen Trust news: In the company of animals, 29 November 2005, 19:00, the Ri, London, UK
The Rosen Trust is pleased to announce that the next event in partnership with the Ri, as part of its RiArt programme, will feature acclaimed artists Olly & Suzi, conservationist Tony Fitzjohn and animal behaviourist Dawn Hawkins, "In the company of animals". Chaired by animal studies researcher Dr Steve Baker, the event will explore how each of them conceive of the animals they work with. Are animals their subjects or their collaborators? How can each of them contribute to keeping species from disappearing from the wild, and what can artists, scientists and conservationists learn by listening to each other?s viewpoints?
For further details on the event, visit http://www.rosentrust.org.uk/events_reports.html
Tickets cost £8, £5 for Ri Members and concessions, and are available now from

Events, London, UK: Play on: a journey into the mystery of song, 28 Nov 2005, 19.00
Just how similar are Bach?s Fugues or the tunes of Lennon and McCartney to the call of a starling or the song of a lark? Why, when humans have language, are our emotions, mind and indeed body so stirred by music, and why do birds sing? Do the so-called musical sounds created by birds serve only a biological function or do they sing for the same reason humans do: because they can, and because they must? A cognitive archaeologist, philosopher and saxophonist bring these ideas and songs to life. Royal Institution, Tickets cost £8 (£5 concessions).
