The Museum is an ideal starting point for you to discover Oxford’s amazing past. \n\n\n\nArtisan Oxford: Arts\, Crafts\, and Creations \n\n\n\nWhat connects James Bond’s favourite breakfast with the South Pole? How did a small Oxford boutique become the “Holy Grail” of fashion?

Beginning his musical journey at the age of six under the guidance of his father\, Grisha quickly emerged as a child prodigy. \n\n\n\nBy nine\, he was already performing in prestigious concert halls across the Soviet Union\, captivating audiences with his technical brilliance and emotional depth. \n\n\n\nHis early success led to international recognition\, including second prize at the Danny Kaye International Children’s Awards and high-profile performances at the United Nations and for the Royalty of Iceland. \n\n\n\nGrisha’s passion for flamenco deepened during a transformative tour of Spain\, where he was invited to play for flamenco legend Paco de Lucía. Impressed by Grisha’s artistry\, de Lucía personally supported his application for an American visa for “Extraordinary Ability\,” enabling him to share his unique blend of flamenco and classical guitar with audiences in the United States. \n\n\n\nGrisha’s dedication to his craft earned him the Best Performance of Spanish Music at the VI International Classical Guitar Competition “Julian Arcás” in Almería\, Spain. \n\n\n\nNow based in the U.S.\, Grisha is one of the few guitarists committed to reviving the tradition of solo flamenco guitar\, a practice once mastered by legends like Ramón Montoya and Sabicas. His repertoire\, which includes more than six hours of flamenco solos transcribed entirely by ear\, showcases his ability to blend the precision of classical music with the fiery passion of flamenco. \n\n\n\nGrisha’s performances are not just concerts; they are a journey through the rich history and vibrant soul of flamenco. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReviews\n\n\n\n\n“One of the most astonishing flamenco guitarists in the world!”  \n\n\n\nAustin Classical Guitar \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\nSuper Early Bird – £20.00 \n\n\n\nEarly Bird – £24.00 \n\n\n\nGeneral – £32.00 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nWednesday 07 May 2025 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n1 hour 15 minutes with no interval \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout SJE Arts Oxford\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSJE Arts Oxford is a concert venue and arts organisation based at St John the Evangelist Church on Iffley Road\, Oxford. \n\n\n\nThe church itself was built in the 19th century as part of a monastery established by the Cowley Fathers\, an Anglican religious community.

Musical accompaniment will be from an array of some of the UK’s leading West End singers and musicians led by Musical Director Duncan Waugh. \n\n\n\nTim is associated with writing the lyrics for so many of the world’s much-loved hit musicals – Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat\, Jesus Christ Superstar\, Evita\, Chess\, and the Disney productions The Lion King\, Aladdin\, and Beauty and the Beast. His work has not been limited to musical theatre alone with Evita transferring to the big screen and theme music for the James Bond movie Octopussy. \n\n\n\nWith the show packed full of songs including Don’t Cry For Me Argentina\, Any Dream Will Do\, A Whole New World\, Can You Feel The Love Tonight\, I Don’t Know How To Love Him\, Circle of Life\, Chess\, Hakuna Matata\, Another Suitcase in Another Hall\, I Know Him So Well\, All Time High\, Must Love Me\, One Night In Bangkok\, My Life In Musicals is an absolute must for fans of musical theatre and brilliant music. \n\n\n\nRegarded by many as one of the world’s greatest lyricists Tim Rice commented: “My Life in Musicals is a show in which I reveal all (well\, nearly all) of the secrets behind the creation of some of the best-known songs featuring my lyrics. I have had the good fortune to work with some of the greatest composers of our time\, including Andrew Lloyd Webber\, Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson\, Elton John\, and Alan Menken\, without whose wonderful melodies I’d be at home watching television. \n\n\n\nYou’ll probably know quite a few of the songs – and will therefore be relieved to hear I won’t be singing them. All musical aspects of the show I hand over to the outstanding Duncan Waugh Band and West End Singers. There will be plenty of stops in between the hits during which I’ll tell you how they happened and\, in some cases\, nearly didn’t.

The experts at Grape Minds will present two different wines to taste in each gallery\, Art-K will run an interactive art-making session\, White Coco will be open for late-night shopping and there will be coffee and Indian food at The Meet Point. \n\n\n\nEach venue will conduct a guided tour – starting at Turrill Sculpture Garden at 5.45pm\, then the North Wall at 6.15pm\, then Sarah Wiseman Gallery at 6.45pm. Can’t make the tour times? Not to worry – guests are still welcome to make their own way around if they wish. \n\n\n\nThe Exhibitions \n\n\n\nThe North Wall will present a retrospective of the work of Marjorie Collins; paintings Marjorie has completed since moving to Oxford from Chicago in 1975 until 2025. Although Marjorie started out painting people and places\, she is better known for her colourful contemporary watercolours of still lifes and florals often painting objects larger than life. \n\n\n\nTurrill Sculpture Garden is celebrating their 25th Silver Anniversary. Their show this Art Weeks features silver metal sculpture in many forms by several very talented sculptors\, all set in a peaceful leafy setting. \n\n\n\nSarah Wiseman Gallery are pleased to present Glitch\, a solo show by printmaker Ade Adesina.

Visually striking and complex\, Ade’s black & white imagery tells the story of his fascination with the world’s turbulent environment. \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\nFree admission \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nFriday 09 May 2025 at 5.30pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n2 hours \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The North Wall Arts Centre\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe North Wall Arts Centre is an an award-winning theatre\, gallery and performing arts centre located in Summertown\, North Oxford.
