OxTalks is Changing
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
Into Silence
In the beautiful setting of Convocation House, members of SCANJ string quartet and cellist Jacqueline Johnson will perform a unique programme. This will feature four pieces of complete silence, including John Cage’s 4’33” and 4’33” No. 2, and works that are very quiet or that contain significant silences by Joseph Haydn, Arvo Pärt, Nils Frahm, Philip Glass and Peteris Vasks.
The performance will be followed by a drinks reception from 8-8.30pm in the Chancellor’s Court.
Willem Kuyken, Ritblat Professor of Mindfulness at the University of Oxford will guide the audience through the event.
Admission is free but places are limited so please book a ticket via eventbrite www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/into-silence-silence-mindfulness-tickets-7836292261.
