SUMMARY:St John's International Piano Series: Alexander Gavrylyuk
DESCRIPTION:St John’s International Piano Series: Alexander Gavrylyuk\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout St John’s International Piano Series: Alexander Gavrylyuk\n\n\n\nMozart Sonata in C major\, K.330 \n\n\n\nChopin Fantasie in f minor op.49 \n\n\n\nLiszt Tarantella Venezia e Napoli \n\n\n\nInterval \n\n\n\nMussorgsky Pictures at an Exhibition \n\n\n\nAlexander Gavrylyuk’s big break came when he won Gold Medal at the 2005 Arthur Rubenstein Piano Masters. He has been a sought-after presence on the international stage ever since. \n\n\n\nTonight’s programme begins with Mozart’s sunny sonata in C major\, written when he was newly married and all was going well for him in Vienna. Chopin’s Fantasie in f minor follows\, a mysterious and contemplative piece despite its marching rhythms. Then – dancing to the interval – Liszt’s fast and furious Tarantella. \n\n\n\nThe second half is Pictures at an Exhibition. This came about after Mussorgsky’s close friend\, artist Viktor Hartmann\, died suddenly at the age of 39.  \n\n\n\nIn the form of a stroll through an exhibition of Hartmann’s work\, with a pause to look at each picture\, it is one of those pieces that is so special it can seem too familiar. It is certain that tonight it won’t. Presenting the piece at Wigmore Hall in 2023\, Alexander Gavrylyuk received not one but two standing ovations. \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 £18.00 to £40.00 \n\n\n\nA fee of £1.50 per transaction applies to bookings for this event across all channels – website\, phone and in-person bookings at the Box Office.

SUMMARY:Hackney Colliery Band
DESCRIPTION:Hackney Colliery Band\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Hackney Colliery Band\n\n\n\nSince 2009\, East London musical pioneers Hackney Colliery Band have pushed the boundaries of brass band conventions\, building a steadfast fanbase with their joyous live shows and slew of heralded releases.  \n\n\n\nNow fifteen years deep into their collective journey\, and with some incredible career highlights to note (such as performing to 80\,000 people at the opening of the 2012 Olympic Games in London)\, the 9 piece outfit prepare to announce their 6th full-length offering\, the hotly anticipated ‘Collaborations: Volume Two’.  \n\n\n\nWhereas their fifth album ‘Collaborations: Volume One featured a range of World Music legends\, including Grammy-winning Beninese vocalist Angélique Kidjo and godfather of Ethiopian jazz Mulatu Astatke\, ‘Volume Two’ sees HCB focus on songs and singers\, alongside a sprinkling of instrumentals featuring harp\, guitar\, cello\, and even conch shells. \n\n\n\nAs anyone who has attempted any degree of social organisation will attest\, it is no mean feat to gather nine people in one place\, at the same time\, on a semi-regular basis\, never mind taking this group of people all over the world to play instrumental music.  \n\n\n\nAdd into the mix an industry where artists are encouraged to find a genre niche and stick to it – advice HCB have joyously ignored for their fifteen-year career – and the community and kinship that HCB have built up over this time seems even more remarkable. \n\n\n\nFrontman/composer Steve Pretty and composers Olly Blackman and Luke Christie say of this release: “It’s a privilege and joy to still be playing together after all these years\, and especially to be pushing each other to be as creative and innovative as we can be.  \n\n\n\n“The process of collaborating with so many amazing artists and the freshness that’s brought to the project is endlessly inspiring. Some of this music started life almost a decade ago\, and other tracks are only a few months old\, but we’re so proud of the breadth of musical talent on display with this record.”  \n\n\n\nA testament to their tenure and calibre as musicians\, ‘Collaborations: Volume Two’ is an exuberant and original addition to HCB’s already impressive and varied catalogue\, highlighting their restlessly collaborative and creative instincts. \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\n£25.00 \n\n\n\nAll prices include any booking fees \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nTuesday 28 April 2026 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Theatre Chipping Norton\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\nThe Theatre Chipping Norton\, sometimes called The Theatre\, Chipping Norton or Chipping Norton Theatre\, is a theatre\, an arthouse cinema\, a gallery and a concert hall in Chipping Norton. \n\n\n\nThe theatre has has 217 seats\, including stalls and a balcony.

The programme opens with Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 23\, where Papadopoulos’s delicate yet dynamic piano playing brings this lyrical masterpiece to life.  \n\n\n\nThe second half of the concert features Mozart’s Requiem\, a profound and dramatic work\, performed by the Oxford Philharmonic Choir\, capturing both the composer’s deep spirituality and his unparalleled gift for orchestral and choral texture. \n\n\n\nThis performance includes the world premiere live performance of Robert Saxton’s Agnus Dei for the Requiem by Mozart\, written in 2017 for a projected TV drama. The writer/producer Peter Kosminsky (who had directed Wolf Hall) wanted a ‘darker’ Agnus Dei in the manner of late Mozart\, replacing the very beautiful movement by Mozart’s pupil\, Süssmayr. \n\n\n\nMozart: Requiem but still no peace \n\n\n\nLeft incomplete on his death\, Mozart’s setting of the Requiem Mass has been one of the most debated and argued-over works in the history of music.

SUMMARY:May Morning 2026
DESCRIPTION:May Morning. Image: Magdalen bridge looking towards central Oxford with Magdalen Tower in the background\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout May Morning 2025\n\n\n\nMay Morning is an annual event in Oxford\, held on 01 May – a tradition stretching back over 500 years. \n\n\n\nA centuries-old Oxford tradition \n\n\n\nMay Morning returns on Friday 01 May 2026\, continuing a tradition that has been celebrated in Oxford for over 500 years. Each year\, students\, residents and visitors gather to welcome the first day of May with music\, procession and revelry in the heart of the city. \n\n\n\nMusic and ceremony at Magdalen Tower \n\n\n\nFrom around 5.00am\, crowds start assembling under Magdalen Tower\, along the High Street\, and on Magdalen Bridge. Students and fellows of Magdalen College gather in the college cloisters and atop the college towers in preparation for the main event. \n\n\n\nAt 6.00am\, the Magdalen College Choir perform the Hymnus Eucharisticus\, a hymn composed in the 17th century by the College’s choirmaster Benjamin Rogers\, from the top of the 144ft tower. The choir also sings three traditional madrigals\, including the perennial favourite Now Is the Month of Maying\, alongside prayers for the city led by the Dean of Divinity. \n\n\n\nWhen the choir concludes\, the Magdalen Tower bells ring for around 20 minutes\, marking the start of the day’s celebrations. A procession moves from Magdalen Bridge up the High Street and into the city centre\, setting the tone for hours of dancing\, music\, and spontaneous festivities that bring Oxford’s communities together. \n\n\n\nDancing and revelry across the city \n\n\n\nTraditionally\, May Morning features Morris dancing on Broad Street\, Catte Street\, under the Bridge of Sighs\, in front of St John’s College on St Giles\, and on the forecourt of the Ashmolean Museum. Highland dancing can be seen in Radcliffe Square\, between the University Church and the Radcliffe Camera. \n\n\n\nRecent history \n\n\n\nDuring the pandemic\, May Morning 2020 moved online\, with choir members recording remotely\, and a similar online celebration took place in 2021. Following restrictions\, May Morning 2022 drew enormous crowds\, particularly as it fell on a weekend. \n\n\n\nIn past decades\, there was a tradition of students jumping into the rather shallow River Cherwell from Magdalen Bridge\, but this was discontinued in 2005 for safety reasons\, after several students were injured. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://youtu.be/Dhwxo2pvp5s\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGood to know\n\n\n\n\nA crowd management system will be in place to ensure a safe and enjoyable morning for everyone.\n\n\n\nLook out for stewards and signage guiding you to viewing spots.\n\n\n\nIt’s important to follow any instructions from stewards\, who are there to help you and others enjoy the experience.\n\n\n\nSpecific viewing areas for wheelchair users\, families with young children\, and those with buggies are set up in the Magdalen College School car park and Rose Lane.\n\n\n\nExpect road closures from 2am to 9am on May Morning\, affecting all traffic\, including bicycles\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGallery
