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
Music at Oxford - I Fagiolini: Leonardo - Shaping the Invisible
I Fagiolini with guest speaker, and Leonardo expert, Professor Martin Kemp.
Painter, sculptor, architect, engineer, pioneer of flight, anatomist, scientist – yet according to Vasari, Leonardo’s first job outside Florence was as a musician. ‘Music cannot be regarded other than as the sister of painting‘, said Leonardo, so for the 500th anniversary of his death in 2019, I Fagiolini and Martin Kemp offer reflections of his images in vocal music: aural fantasia dei vinci – art through the prism of music, in works by Tallis, Victoria, Monteverdi, Bach, Howells and Daniel-Lesur. The title ‘Shaping the Invisible’ – Leonardo’s phrase – is a new commission by Adrian Williams and poet Gillian Clarke for eight voices, celebrating Leonardo’s scientific investigation and obsession with flight.
A series of Leonardo’s works will be projected during the concert, and the concert programme has been released on CD by CORO: COR16171.
