[all events free to TOIA members]
15/1/19, 7.30 pm, Concert, Mordan Hall, St Hugh’s College, Oxford
Sara Stowe, Soprano, Ogloudoglou, Vocal Masterpieces of the Experimental Generation
Sara Stowe’s repertoire as a singer covers a wide range of music ranging from spiritual songs of the medieval period to the most adventurous modern songs. Initially studying as harpsichord scholar at the Royal College of Music, she later discovered her voice and won a British Council Advanced Training Bursary to study singing in Italy, laying the foundations of her interest in much of the virtuosic and extraordinary Italian music she performs today, including compositions by Giacinto Scelsi and Luciano Berio.

Emeritus Professor Martin Kemp, Living with Leonardo, Fifty Years of Sanity and Insanity in the Art World and Beyond

22/2/19, 7.30 pm, Maplethorpe Building, St Hugh’s College, Oxford
Film Screening, Bernardo Bertolucci, Il conformista
Bernardo Bertolucci's expressionist masterpiece of 1970, Il conformista, is an account of the neuroses and self-loathing of a sexually confused would-be fascist aching to fit in in 1938 Rome and was deemed an instant classic on release.
And finally, at Keble College on a mid-February date to be finalised, Professor Nicola Gardini will also talk on his latest book:
LE 10 PAROLE LATINE che raccontono il nostro mondo
Un viaggio nella vita di 10 parole antiche che continuano a creare pensieri e discorsi.
