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
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
In this discussion, composer Jonathan Dove will talk about the relationship of his music to memory and remembrance, both in his work about war and conflict (such as his chamber piece In Damascus and his choral work To An Unknown Soldier), and about collective memory more broadly, such as in his TV opera When She Died, which reflects on the death of Princess Diana.
