18:00 TALK & 19:30 CONCERT
It gives us huge pleasure to welcome the American composer, Anna Clyne, who will be working closely with Ensemble Isis throughout the year in preparation for a new work for string quartet, ensemble and live electronics to be performed at the Schwarzman Centre in June 2026.
On this occasion Anna presents a <speaks> talk introducing her work, which will be live-streamed on the JdP Music Building YouTube account. She also introduces 'Red Nines,' a solo work for piano, 'October Rose' for violin duo, and her ensemble piece, 'Fractured Time'.
Contrapunctus: Charles & Isabel - The Royal Wedding of 1526
Oxford’s renowned early-music consort Contrapunctus recreates the musical world surrounding one of the great royal marriages of the Renaissance: the wedding of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain, and Isabella of Portugal in Seville in 1526.
Abolition Song and its Legacies
This is the final event of a two‑year research project, bringing together music, scholarship and contemporary reflection. Alongside performances, the hour‑long programme features contributions from the project’s researchers, offering insight into the historical and musical contexts behind the work.
