As he has evolved from the guitar-picking troubadour that caught the attention of Hollywood’s music supervision community early on in his career to more recently the chart-topping arena-selling crooner\, he manages to avoid every pigeon-hole thrown in his direction. \n\n\n\nJack Savoretti UK Solo Winter Tour 2025\n\n\n\nNow with his 8th album ‘Miss Italia’ he continues to forge this singular path. While few artists manage to make an 8th album\, even fewer do so in a different language and to such critical acclaim. In the words of The Times\, ‘Jack sounds like an Italian Joe Cocker.’ \n\n\n\n‘Miss Italia’ came at an important moment in Jack’s life\, as his Italian father had recently passed away. Jack explains; “My father was the anchor that tied me to Italy\, the connection to my roots that I felt I was at risk of losing without him. So I went back to school. I didn’t want to imitate Italian music\, I wanted to make it my own\, combining everything I had learned over almost 20 years of experience from working in America\, England\, and Italy\, merging Anglo-Saxon singer-songwriting with Italian to create something unique. I first had to learn to write in Italian before making MY album in Italian‘. \n\n\n\nFor an artist who has been making and selling millions of albums for over sixteen years\, Jack’s reputation as a singer-songwriter is perfectly epitomised by the kinds of collaborators he attracts\, previously including cultural icons the likes of Bob Dylan\, Kylie Minogue\, Shania Twain\, Sophie Ellis-Bextor\, and Nile Rodgers among many others.

Back in 1922\, when she was just 25\, she flew higher than any woman before her and became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans\, setting multiple speed and distance records. \n\n\n\nPublic Service Broadcasting\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt also makes a nod to her final venture\, when she announced in 1937 that she would circumnavigate the globe in her Lockheed Model 10-E Electra aircraft. She crossed the Americas\, Africa\, the Middle East\, and Asia\, but never made it back. \n\n\n\nThe album’s first single Electra is a pulsating\, funk-inspired track which\, like the album\, takes inspiration from the determination of Earheart and captures the same force as her aircraft. \n\n\n\n“I wanted to do a woman-focused story because most of the archive we have access to is overwhelmingly male”\, said J. Willgoose Esq\, discussing the inspiration for their first album since 2021’s Bright Magic.  \n\n\n\n“I was initially drawn in by Earhart’s final fight\, rather than the successes that she had\, but the more I read the more I became fascinated by her. Her bravery and aeronautical achievements were extraordinary\, but her philosophy and the dignity that she had… she was an outstanding person.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFrom £34.63 \n\n\n\nTickets are subject to a transaction fee of £3.95. \n\n\n\nDate and time: \n\n\n\nThursday 20 March 2025 at 7.00pm \n\n\n\nAge guidance: \n\n\n\nUnder 16s to be accompanied by an adult 21+.

It was a journey that would inspire Mendelssohn to write one of his best-loved works\, Symphony No. 4 – the ‘Italian’. This was the continuation of his “Grand Tour” which had begun in England and (unusually) Scotland in 1829 and now took him to Italy\, which was the country visited by many young men of means in the early 18th century. \n\n\n\nThe talk will bring Mendelssohn’s journey vividly to life by showing several of the fine sketches and watercolours that he made during his travels\, and give an introduction to the ‘Italian’ Symphony that brings the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra’s concert to a close. \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\nTickets prices: \n\n\n\nStandard tickets – From £20.00 \n\n\n\nStudent – From £5.00 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nThursday 20 March 2025 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n2 hours\, including an interval \n\n\n\nAge guidance: \n\n\n\n6+ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Sheldonian Theatre\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nHome to ceremonial occasions and a raft of exciting events\, the magnificent and versatile Sheldonian Theatre is the focal point of the University of Oxford and is a unique space to experience live music. \n\n\n\nTo see an interactive map of the theatre\, click here. \n\n\n\nFind out more about the Sheldonian Theatre\, including facilities\, access and venue information.

They are joined by some of the country’s best up and coming soloists and the historically-informed players of the Musical and Amicable Society for a performance that will awaken you to every detail of this incredible score. \n\n\n\nOpus 48 shows off its incredible versatility as the choir takes many roles throughout the piece while the story unfolds. Mendelssohn’s musical and dramatic choices suggest the stuff of opera – shouting crowds\, a vengeful Queen\, and a flaming chariot – yet Elijah is grounded in a profoundly spiritual\, devotional ethos. \n\n\n\nThe work as a whole\, through its choruses and words\, professes timeless spiritual values\, stressing the worth of endurance and perseverance\, and the importance of hope amid despair. \n\n\n\nIf you enjoy Handel oratorios\, then you will recognise his influences in Mendelssohn’s epic\, Biblical drama – together with Bach-inspired worshipful reflective moments. Elijah was a ‘grand and mighty prophet … borne on the wings of angels’\, brought thrillingly alive in this piece. It is truly a masterpiece that deserves its place as one of the monumental compositions of the 19th century. \n\n\n\nWhether you’re a longtime fan of choral music or just looking for a gripping evening out\, this concert promises to be a real highlight. Get your tickets now and immerse yourself in this extraordinary music! \n\n\n\nOpus 48 – named in honour of Fauré’s Requiem – is an exciting medium-sized choral society in Oxfordshire\, performing an impressive range of repertoire to the very highest standard.

Situated on Holywell Street\, close to the heart of the University of Oxford\, it was constructed in 1748 and is celebrated for its remarkable acoustics and intimate atmosphere. \n\n\n\nOften considered the first dedicated music venue in England\, the Holywell Music Room has hosted performances for over two centuries. It has historical ties to esteemed composers like Haydn and has been a key location for classical music in the region. The building’s interior reflects the elegance of Georgian architecture\, with a design that prioritises sound quality. Seating around 200 people\, it provides an immersive and personal concert experience. \n\n\n\nThe venue remains an active hub for musical performances\, regularly showcasing chamber music\, solo recitals\, and other classical events. It is used extensively by the University of Oxford and local cultural organisations. Conveniently located in central Oxford\, the Holywell Music Room continues to attract music lovers and visitors who appreciate its historical and artistic significance. \n\n\n\nVisit the venue information page for further details.

This text has inspired some of the most memorable and imaginative choral music ever written\, from the Renaissance into the present day. Rossini’s 1841 setting is no exception. \n\n\n\nIt is cut from the same cloth as the later Verdi Requiem\, in that it lays the text’s raw emotion bare using Italian opera techniques. It also makes extraordinary demands on the soloists\, which is probably why it is rarely performed! Mozart’s Coronation Mass is one of his most popular settings of the Mass. \n\n\n\nComposed in Salzburg after he was appointed court organist and composer at Salzburg Cathedral\, it is celebratory throughout. The soprano solo Agnus Dei bears a striking resemblance to the Countess’s aria Dove Sono from Figaro. \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\nTickets prices: \n\n\n\nFrom £15.00 to £30.00 \n\n\n\nStudents and under 18s half price in the Semi-circle and Upper Gallery only (proof of status required). \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nSunday 23 March 2025 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\nDoors open at 6.30pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n2 hours\, including an interval \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Sheldonian Theatre\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nHome to ceremonial occasions and a raft of exciting events\, the magnificent and versatile Sheldonian Theatre is the focal point of the University of Oxford and is a unique space to experience live music. \n\n\n\nTo see an interactive map of the theatre\, click here. \n\n\n\nFind out more about the Sheldonian Theatre\, including facilities\, access and venue information.
