Six multi-skilled performers slip in and out of different voices\, different lives. \n\n\n\nThey tell stories\, the sort of stories we carry around like pebbles in our pockets\, stories we need to tell in order to finally set them down and move forward\, in order not to be trapped between different periods of time. \n\n\n\nBy turns deeply moving and darkly comic\, The Alonetimes weaves together semi-autobiographical stories and historical texts – broken friendships\, fumbled sexual encounters\, quiet moments of revelation\, mid-life crises\, emotional meltdowns and online dating profiles. \n\n\n\nWords that won’t come out of the mouth and words that tumble out uncontrollably. A trash-talking\, chain-vaping Druid from 3300 BC threads our path through this kaleidoscopic minefield\, urging performers and audience alike to work through the challenges from our past\, put it to rest\, and maybe feel a bit less alone. \n\n\n\nThrough two very different bodies of work and working practices\, Jennifer and Philip share a common love for storytelling\, collage\, the voice and music theatre at its most eclectic. \n\n\n\nThey often weave their own life experiences into their work\, striving to make direct\, visceral connections with the audience; music theatre that can ask what it means to be alive\, that talks openly and honestly about human relationships. \n\n\n\nJennifer and Philip are excited to collide their practices in this work\, to be collaborative and playful with each other; to write over\, into and underneath each other’s work. It will be an adventure. \n\n\n\nPerformers: \n\n\n\nAndreas Borregaard accordion \n\n\n\nDiamanda La Berge Dramm violin \n\n\n\nLoré Lixenberg voice \n\n\n\nOskar McCarthy voice \n\n\n\nVanessa Porter percussion \n\n\n\nAdam Starkie bass clarinet \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFrom £26.95 to £53.90 \n\n\n\nTickets are subject to a transaction fee \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nMonday 19 October 2026 at 7.00pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n1 hour with no interval \n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\nSohmen Concert Hall URL:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/event/the-alonetimes/ LOCATION:Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities\, Radcliffe Observatory Quarter\, Woodstock Road\, Oxford\, OX2 6GG CATEGORIES:Concerts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/The-Alonetimes.webp GEO:51.7604705;-1.2621148 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities Radcliffe Observatory Quarter Woodstock Road Oxford OX2 6GG;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Radcliffe Observatory Quarter\, Woodstock Road:geo:-1.2621148,51.7604705 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20261023T193000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20261023T193000 DTSTAMP:20260603T050100Z CREATED:20260603T050056Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260603T050100Z UID:10012108-1792783800-1792783800@theoxfordmagazine.com SUMMARY:Once in a Lifetime – 80s Tribute DESCRIPTION:Once in a Lifetime – 80s Tribute\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Once in a Lifetime – 80s Tribute\n\n\n\nCelebrating the Musical Visionaries of the 80s \n\n\n\nGet ready to rewind to a time when music wasn’t just heard\, it was felt.

Growing up in a musical family\, Holly honed her craft for over a decade performing semi-professionally before an audition on ITV’s Starstruck changed her life. “I had to audition as three of my musical icons\, and Tina was an obvious choice for me. During lockdown\, I studied her performances obsessively\, getting into her moves\, her walk\, and her energy.” \n\n\n\nIt wasn’t long before the team behind What’s Love Got To Do With It? noticed Holly’s raw talent and passion. Initially cast as a backing singer and understudy\, Holly quickly stepped into the spotlight\, making the lead role her own and earning standing ovations night after night. \n\n\n\nAudiences can expect a show bursting with energy\, emotion\, and that signature Tina fire. The production kicks off with hits like Private Dancer\, as Holly fully inhabits Tina’s powerful vocals and unmistakable moves\, transporting fans to the heart of a live Tina Turner concert experience. Then\, in the show-stopping second half\, the audience is guaranteed to be on their feet\, dancing and singing along to high-octane classics like Nutbush City Limits. \n\n\n\nWhat’s Love Got To Do With It? isn’t just a concert – it’s a celebration of Tina Turner’s legacy\, a night of unrelenting joy\, and a tribute to one of the most electrifying performers in music history. \n\n\n\nPlease note that this is a tribute production and is not endorsed by or affiliated with the Tina Turner Estate. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat’s Love Got To Do With It?

Crowley \n\n\n\nCorvus Consort’s upper voices join with harpist Louise Thomson to present a festive concert\, featuring music celebrating women’s voices from their acclaimed album ‘Welcome Joy’ alongside Benjamin Britten’s iconic Ceremony of Carols. \n\n\n\nThe first half of the programme comprises a selection of music from ‘Welcome Joy’\, which was released in 2024 on Chandos Records. A celebration of women’s voices\, both as singers and composers\, the album received five stars from BBC Music Magazine\, who also named it one of their ’13 best classical albums of 2024’. \n\n\n\nImogen Holst’s characterful Keats setting Welcome Joy and Welcome Sorrow opens the programme\, before a set of beautiful works by living composers Judith Weir\, Olivia Sparkhall and Hilary Campbell\, all commissioned by Multitude of Voyces to mark International Women’s Day in 2019. \n\n\n\nThen comes Elizabeth Poston’s remarkable An English Day-Book\, a cycle of eleven short movements charting the course of a day in the English countryside\, packed with strikingly vivid depictions of bells\, clocks\, songbirds\, owls\, and a mischievous bumblebee. \n\n\n\nThe second half is where things get festive\, opening with a selection of a cappella Christmas pieces by Elizabeth Poston\, Howard Skempton and Peter Maxwell Davies\, as well as the medieval carol Ther is no rose of swych vertu. Harp and voices will also sound together in the magical Peace on Earth by current Master of the King’s Music Errollyn Wallen. \n\n\n\nFinally\, Corvus and Louise will perform Benjamin Britten’s Ceremony of Carols\, undoubtedly the most famous composition that exists for women’s voices and harp. \n\n\n\nMirroring Poston’s cycle at the end of the first half\, the Ceremony of Carols also consists of eleven movements\, in this case setting a series of medieval carol texts\, with perfectly judged musical moods shifting between the lyrical\, poignant\, and joyful. \n\n\n\nIt is one of the best-loved works in the English Christmas repertory\, and will bring the concert to a fabulous festive close. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReviews\n\n\n\n\n“Dazzling … under its founder-director Freddie Crowley\, Corvus Consort is always full of fresh thinking.”  \n\n\n\nBBC Music Magazine \n\n\n\n\n\n“Clean\, clear voices\, impeccable intonation and a direct\, engaged way with the texts.”  \n\n\n\nLimelight Magazine \n\n\n\n\n\n“An innovative and top-drawer ensemble.”  \n\n\n\nThe Arts Desk \n\n\n\n\n\n“The 12 superb sopranos and altos of the Corvus Consort sing the complex\, close-knit textures of these works with delicacy and pinpoint accuracy. Louise Thomson’s immaculate\, virtuosic harp playing conjures scenes that take us from scented gardens to sun-baked landscapes and haunted moonlit forests.”  \n\n\n\nBBC Music Magazine \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFull price – £20.00 \n\n\n\nAges 18 to 25 and disability – £15.00 \n\n\n\nUnder 18 – £8.00 \n\n\n\nAll orders will be subject to a per transaction booking fee of £1.50 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nThursday 26 November 2026 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\nDoors open at 7.00pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n2 hours\, including an interval URL:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/event/corvus-consort-welcome-joy-a-ceremony-of-carols/ LOCATION:St Barnabas Church\, Jericho\, Oxford\, 15 St Barnabas Street\, Jericho\, Oxford\, Oxfordshire\, OX2 6BG CATEGORIES:Concerts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/Corvus-Consort-Welcome-Joy-A-Ceremony-of-Carols.webp GEO:51.7842696;-1.4855354 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=St Barnabas Church Jericho Oxford 15 St Barnabas Street Jericho Oxford Oxfordshire OX2 6BG;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=15 St Barnabas Street\, Jericho:geo:-1.4855354,51.7842696 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20261128T133000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20261128T143000 DTSTAMP:20260807T150134Z CREATED:20260807T150128Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260807T150134Z UID:10013250-1795872600-1795876200@theoxfordmagazine.com SUMMARY:Colin Currie Group: Tehillim DESCRIPTION:Colin Currie Group: Tehillim\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Colin Currie Group: Tehillim\n\n\n\nPulsing energy\, spiritual resonance\, ecstatic praise… \n\n\n\nRecognised as Steve Reich’s first work exploring his Jewish heritage\, Tehillim applies Reich’s distinctive\, mesmerising style to the setting of Hebrew psalms for singers and ensemble. \n\n\n\nDriven by the rhythm and meaning of the text\, this vivid song of praise is accompanied by Reich’s iconic Clapping Music and his instrumental work Pulse.  \n\n\n\nDescribed by Spectator as ‘the world’s finest and most daring percussionist’\, Colin Currie and his virtuosic ensemble are considered today’s definitive interpreters of Steve Reich’s music.  \n\n\n\nPerformers: \n\n\n\nColin Currie Group  \n\n\n\nRepertoire: \n\n\n\nSteve Reich Clapping Music \n\n\n\nSteve Reich Pulse \n\n\n\nSteve Reich Tehillim \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFrom £15.40 to £30.80  \n\n\n\nTickets are subject to a transaction fee \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nSaturday 28 November 2026 at 1.30pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n1 hour with no interval \n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\nSohmen Concert Hall URL:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/event/colin-currie-group-tehillim/ LOCATION:Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities\, Radcliffe Observatory Quarter\, Woodstock Road\, Oxford\, OX2 6GG CATEGORIES:Concerts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/Colin-Currie-Group-Tehillim.webp GEO:51.7604705;-1.2621148 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities Radcliffe Observatory Quarter Woodstock Road Oxford OX2 6GG;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Radcliffe Observatory Quarter\, Woodstock Road:geo:-1.2621148,51.7604705 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20261128T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20261128T210000 DTSTAMP:20260808T095419Z CREATED:20260807T152515Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260808T095419Z UID:10013251-1795892400-1795899600@theoxfordmagazine.com SUMMARY:Aurora Orchestra: Bernstein & Bach DESCRIPTION:Aurora Orchestra: Bernstein & Bach\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Aurora Orchestra: Bernstein & Bach\n\n\n\nA luminous celebration of the enduring musical resonance of the Book of Psalms\, devised and presented by Edmund de Waal\, Aurora Orchestra and the BBC Singers.  \n\n\n\nBoth contemplative and joyous\, and one of the composer’s most frequently performed works\, Chichester Psalms explores themes of peace\, praise and unity\, and was described by Bernstein as “popular in feeling” with “an old-fashioned sweetness”.  \n\n\n\nTaking Bernstein’s work\, which imbues the sanctity of the Book of Psalms with the energy of West Side Story\, as a starting point\, Edmund de Waal explores the soul-stirring power of music inspired by biblical texts.  \n\n\n\nFor this special collaborative performance\, Aurora Orchestra joins forces with the BBC Singers for a programme which also includes Bach’s joyful Magnificat\, whose dazzling trumpets and soaring melodies promise a soul-stirring experience. \n\n\n\nThis is music which moves through worlds;
