OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The program focuses on Jewish composers from Theresienstadt. This camp had a remarkable artistic significance during the war period. It was ‘home’ to major composers, and an orchestra was created there.
The composers featured are Ilse Weber, Pavel Haas and Viktor Ullmann. Though not connected with the camps, Sergei Prokofiev last movement of his Piano Sonata No. 6, conveys the chaos and anguish of a world at war.
After the concert, please join us for refreshments and a chance to meet the performers, Adam Leites (oboe) and Gabriel Cassagnes (piano)
