During this period\, Mathilda and Richard were a great inspiration to each other. Much has been speculated about the nature of the relationship between Wagner and Mathilde. Perhaps the answer is revealed in these exquisite songs. \n\n\n\nWhen composing The House of Life\, Vaughan Williams chose a selection of the eponymous sequence of sonnets by the Pre-Raphaelite painter/poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti. This collection is also known as The Kelmscott Love Sonnets\, after Kelmscott Manor in West Oxfordshire\, where Rossetti took joint tenancy with designer William Morris and his wife Jane. She not only was the the inspiration for Rossetti’s many portraits but also for The House of Life. \n\n\n\nIt seems both song cycles have quite a few things in common\, including the theme of transfiguration from love into death. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTicketing information\n\n\n\nPrice: £15.00 URL:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/event/songs-of-desire/ LOCATION:St Mary-le-More Church\, Wallingford\, Market Place\, Wallingford\, OX10 0EG CATEGORIES:Concerts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/songs-of-desire-01-1600x900-1.webp GEO:51.6000871;-1.1247739 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=St Mary-le-More Church Wallingford Market Place Wallingford OX10 0EG;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Market Place:geo:-1.1247739,51.6000871 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20231003T000000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20231007T235959 DTSTAMP:20260425T010534 CREATED:20221003T090000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250201T112429Z UID:10004764-1696291200-1696723199@theoxfordmagazine.com SUMMARY:The King and I Musical DESCRIPTION:The King and I Musical at New Theatre Oxford\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The King and I Musical\n\n\n\nFollowing its critically-acclaimed sold-out season at The London Palladium\, the multi-award-winning Broadway production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The King and I is coming to New Theatre Oxford as part of its 2023 UK tour. \n\n\n\nWinner of 4 Tony Awards\, including Best Musical and Best Revival\, The King and I Musical has been thrilling theatre audiences for decades. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe King and I is the greatest musical from the golden age of musicals – with one of the finest scores ever written\, including Whistle a Happy Tune and Shall We Dance.

During that time\, conflict has remained a staple of comic book storytelling\, and by the 1960s and 1970s\, war stories were the most popular genre. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition\, featuring original comic artwork on public display for the first time\, tells the story of war comics decade by decade – From satirical comic strips and patriotic illustrated story papers of 19th Century and early 20th Century to the revolutionary comics of the 1970s\, which presented much more gritty\, authentic and emotionally-charged stories. \n\n\n\nLong-time readers of comics will be given a nostalgic look back at some of their favourites\, while younger and more recent fans will gain an insight into how their favourite medium has developed over the years. \n\n\n\nDrawing on Rebellion’s extensive archives\, the exhibition features artwork from the very best of British comics – taking in spectacular covers and action-packed panels from the War Picture Library\, Battle Picture Weekly and Battle Action. \n\n\n\nBattle Action\, which Rebellion have recently revived with the work of renowned comic writers and artists such as Garth Ennis (Preacher\, The Boys)\, Keith Burns (Commando Comics\, Johnny Red) and Dab Abnett (Warhammer 40k\, Marvel Comics)\, features heavily throughout. \n\n\n\nImage (cropped): Gun Duel cover (Battle Picture Library\, 1967) by Graham Cotton (Copyright Rebellion Publishing)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe comic\, which was known as Battle Picture Weekly before merging with Action comics in 1977\, notably featured the series Charley’s War by Pat Mills and Jo Colquhoun – regarded as one of the greatest war comics of all time. \n\n\n\nFollowing its working-class hero from underage recruit in 1914 through almost every major event of the war\, the strip sees Charley lose friends in battle\, portraying the human cost of war through the eyes of an ordinary soldier. \n\n\n\nThe incredible artwork on display will includes original 1983 Charley’s War panels by Mill and Colquhoun\, alongside full colour original artwork from Jordi Penalva (Bulldog Breed\, 1965)\, Giorgio de Gaspari (Spy 13\, 1959) and Graham Cotton (Gun Duel\, 1967). \n\n\n\nAlongside much to capture the interest and imagination of adults\, the exhibition will offer younger visitors the chance to discover how comics are made and have a go at creating comics themselves.

Groomed with gifts and coerced with threats\, their victim takes on the dangerous business of drug running. The result is a visually stunning\, breath-taking\, and mesmerising piece of theatre.  \n\n\n\nCODE was developed through a research and development phase\, funded by Arts Council England\, and then a series of workshops with young people\, run in association with Dancin’ Oxford. \n\n\n\nJustice in Motion’s research has encompassed organisations working on the front line\, as well as collecting real stories from young victims and survivors. \n\n\n\nCODE brings together trials bikes\, parkour\, physical theatre and live rap music to establish a narrative that delves into the crime and its effects on young people. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTicketing information\n\n\n\nCODE will be performed outdoors on Oxford Broad Street on 19 August at noon and 3.00pm\, and at Barton Neighbourhood Centre\, Headington\, on 20 August at 2.00pm and 5.00pm. \n\n\n\nAll performances are free to attend.

It juxtaposes the work of two London-based painters\, Flora Yukhnovich and Daniel Crews-Chubb. \n\n\n\nDespite stylistic differences\, the work of both artists links art historical inspirations with a dynamic and contemporary painterly language. The paintings displayed\, all made specifically for this exhibition\, convey a timeless passion for the medium of painting\, its materials and processes. \n\n\n\nFor this series of three exhibitions in Gallery 8\, each artist will explore different areas of the museum’s broad collections. Ashmolean NOW will feature their four very different points of view.

Circular forms and soft contours suggest organic growth\, while glowing light and dark contrasts create an illusion of three-dimensional depth. \n\n\n\nYukhnovich’s work playfully and critically explores different notions of femininity in the history of art and popular culture\, looking at contrasting stereotypes like ‘virtuous’ and ‘monstrous’ women. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDaniel Crews-Chubb\n\n\n\n\n\nDaniel Crews-Chubb (b. 1984) presents a group of large-scale paintings that take inspiration from ancient sculptures of deities and non-human figures found in the Ashmolean. \n\n\n\nThese ‘immortals’\, as Crews-Chubb calls his fantastical figures\, are created through a laborious process of addition and revision\, including drawing\, impasto\, and collage. \n\n\n\nThe textured patchwork of his canvasses gives Crews-Chubb’s monumental subjects a three-dimensional presence that\, as he describes\, ‘corrodes the boundary between painting and sculpture’.  URL:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/event/ashmolean-now-flora-yukhnovich-x-daniel-crews-chubb/ LOCATION:Ashmolean Museum\, 35 Beaumont Street\, Oxford\, Oxfordshire\, OX1 2PH CATEGORIES:Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/ashmolean-now-01-1920x1080-1.webp GEO:51.7550824;-1.2611489 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Ashmolean Museum 35 Beaumont Street Oxford Oxfordshire OX1 2PH;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=35 Beaumont Street:geo:-1.2611489,51.7550824 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20230730T080000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20230730T130000 DTSTAMP:20260425T010535 CREATED:20220909T040857Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240306T150137Z UID:10003617-1690704000-1690722000@theoxfordmagazine.com SUMMARY:Henley Farmers Market (5th Sundays) DESCRIPTION:Henley Farmers Market\, Henly on Thames\, Oxfordshire\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Henley Farmers Market\n\n\n\nThe Farmers Market takes place in Henley Market Place the 2nd Saturday\, 4th Thursday and 5th Sunday (if there be one) of the month from 8.00am to 1.30pm \n\n\n\nExpect stalls with delicious\, fresh\, locally produced\, seasonal food as well as crafts and non-food items from suppliers in and around the Henley-on-Thames area. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGood to know\n\n\n\nThe Town Council organises several weekend / Continental-style Markets each year\, and the Charter Market is held in Market Place every Thursday (except on the 4th Thursday of the Month when it is replaced by the Farmers Market).
