OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Joonas Sildre is a brilliant comic artist from Estonia. As well as authoring and illustrating many children’s books and teaching comic art, he spent five years researching, writing, and drawing Kahe heli vahel (Between Two Sounds), a biographical graphic novel that imaginatively reveals Pärt’s musical and personal development from childhood up to 1980 when his family was forced to leave Estonia.
This session explores Joonas’s work, through discussion with the artist, and a presentation of images from Between Two Sounds, accompanied by pianist Lucie Tenet performing Pärt’s Für Alina and Partita. A musical, visual and intellectual feast!
