Lecture-Recital 'Henri Tomasi, a committed and humanist musician’
With
Emilie Capulet (Keble College and Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance)
John Rogers (viola and violin)
Sandra Porter (mezzo-soprano)
The Corsican-French composer Henri Tomasi (1901-1971) lived through some of the most momentous political, social and technological upheavals of the 20th century. Born into the Corsican diaspora of Marseille, torn by the tragedies and destruction of war, campaigning against the ravages of oppression, passionate about the redemptive and cathartic power of music in the struggle for the liberation of the human condition, Tomasi dedicated himself throughout his life to fighting for the freedom of the human spirit through music and art. In this lecture-recital, we will discover his multifaceted character and wide-ranging interests, reflected in the diversity of the genres and styles he engaged with in his extensive compositional output, including operas, orchestral works, concertos, ballets, choral scores, instrumental music, chamber music, radiophonic works and film scores.
Organised in collaboration with Keble College.
