SUMMARY:Rossini - Petite Messe Solennelle\, Summertown Choral Society
DESCRIPTION:Rossini’s Petite Messe Solennelle\nGioachino Rossini’s Petite Messe Solennelle is a work of radiant contrasts — intimate yet expansive\, devotional yet full of operatic colour. Far from the austerity its title suggests\, it reveals Rossini at his most human: tender\, witty\, luminous\, and deeply moving. This is music that stirs the spirit and lingers long after the final note fades. \nFor this performance\, Summertown Choral Society is joined by four exceptional soloists — \nLouise Wayman – soprano\nRuby Bak – mezzo soprano\nSamuel Rose – tenor \nHarrison Robb – baritone\n\n— with harmonium adding its distinctive warmth and character. \nAs a special highlight\, pianist Julian Littlewood will perform Rossini’s Première communion from Péchés de vieillesse\, a miniature full of charm and expressive delicacy. \nTogether\, these artists promise an evening that feels less like a concert and more like a celebration of spring\, artistry\, and shared beauty. \nWe would be delighted to welcome you to a night of music that inspires\, surprises\, and reminds us why live performance matters.

SUMMARY:''The Secrets of my Failure''
DESCRIPTION:An irresistible comedy in Greek with English surtitles\, masterfully written by George\nIliopoulos and exquisitely directed by Anastasia Revi. The performance will take place at\nthe Cohen Quad\, Exeter College\, Oxford\, on Saturday and Sunday\, May 9th and 10th\, at\n3:00 pm and 7:30 pm. \nIn a play that balances between humour and disarming honesty\, adulthood is presented not\nas an achievement\, but as an ongoing rehearsal. Drawing from the very “springboard” of our\nlives — family\, teachers\, first friendships\, and those first glances through which we begin to\nunderstand ourselves in relation to others — the work unfolds\, with both wit and insight\,\nthe journey toward self-realisation. \nFrom our earliest need to belong and be loved\, to the obsessions of adult life — success\,\nrecognition\, image — the play illuminates the contradictions that shape us. Our\nachievements and failures\, our dreams and disappointments\, form an identity that\nconstantly teeters between what we believe about ourselves and what we imagine others\nsee in us. \nWith a sharp yet self-ironic tone\, the performance explores narcissism\, the anxiety of\nacceptance\, and the fine line between healthy self-reflection and relentless self-doubt. How\nmuch are we ultimately affected by the gaze of others? And how honest can we truly be\nwith ourselves in pursuing our dreams?

SUMMARY:An orchestra for today
DESCRIPTION:As Artistic Director of Aurora Orchestra\, Jane Mitchell has been thinking about what an orchestra can and should be for the past 20 years.  Aurora Orchestra has pioneered collaborative work across art forms\, memorised performances\, new training programmes for players and a programme of work for schools that provides a pathway for children aged 3 – 18 and enables teachers to embed orchestral music in the classroom. \nIn this session Jane will explore what it takes to create and sustain an orchestra  – the roles that are needed and how Aurora responds to an ever-changing world to ensure that the creative programme thrives and audiences fill the concert halls. There will be opportunities for questions and discussion on a wide range of topics and also a chance to take a look in detail at Aurora’s approach to transforming classical repertoire for different audiences.  As part of this Jane will be working with a small group of students to present scenes from Beethoven and the Dinosaurs\, one of Aurora’s flagship productions for young children.

SUMMARY:Contrapunctus: Victoria in Rome and Madrid
DESCRIPTION:Oxford’s renowned early-music consort Contrapunctus traces the career of Tomás Luis de Victoria across two great centres of Renaissance music: Rome and Madrid. At the heart of the programme is Victoria’s exquisite Missa Surge propera\, framed by motets by Victoria and his Roman contemporary Palestrina\, illuminating the composer’s formative years in the papal city. The second half turns to Madrid\, where Victoria spent his later career\, placing his music alongside that of Philippe Rogier\, a leading figure at the Spanish court. \nJoin us for a programme that explores the stylistic richness\, devotional intensity\, and international influences that shaped one of the most expressive voices of the late Renaissance \n‘Seriously\, startlingly good’ – Gramophone \n‘Superb singing’ – The Observer \n‘The singers shape each piece lovingly. Impeccable.’ – The Sunday Times \nProgramme \nGiovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina\nAssumpta est Maria\nNigra sum \nTomás Luis de Victoria\nMissa Surge propera\nSalve regina\nAsperges me\nPange lingua \nPhilippe Rogier\nCaligaverunt oculi mei\nInclina cor meum\nCantantibus organis \nAlonso Lobo\nVersa est in luctum
