Main gauche seule (in memoriam Maurice Ravel) \n\n\n\nRavel La valse \n\n\n\nThe original performer for this concert date was Jonathan Powell\, whose sad death was announced at the beginning of January. \n\n\n\nWe are enormously grateful to Jean-Efflam Bavouzet for stepping into the Series at this late date. A pianist of international renown\, his recordings of the complete solo piano works of Haydn\, and of Ravel\, have received universal acclaim. \n\n\n\nJean-Efflam brings a programme of beautiful music wrapped in a web of connections. Beethoven’s virtuosic piano sonata no.3 is dedicated to his teacher Haydn. \n\n\n\nHummel\, a contemporary and friend of Beethoven’s\, also took lessons with Haydn. Schumann wrote his piece about the extravagant Mardi Gras celebrations that he witnessed in Vienna. \n\n\n\nRavel’s short Menuet – it is only a minute and a half – was a commission to mark the centenary of Haydn’s death. Maurice Ohana’s fourth Etude is a tribute to Ravel\, who wrote his left-handed concerto for a pianist injured in the First World War. \n\n\n\nAnd finally\, Ravel’s La Valse\, a composition that was interrupted and terrifyingly changed by the same devastating war. It will be thrilling to hear Jean-Efflam play this piece. \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.

The regatta takes place each May over four successive days\, from Wednesday to Saturday of the fifth week of Trinity Term\, drawing spectators and rowing enthusiasts from across the city and beyond. \n\n\n\nRacing on the Isis \n\n\n\nThe races are held on the Isis\, a stretch of the River Thames in Oxford. The river is generally too narrow for side-by-side racing\, so crews compete in the traditional ‘Bumps’ format. In this style of racing\, boats chase each other in single file\, aiming to catch and ‘bump’ the crew ahead to move up the rankings. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor each division\, twelve boats line up at the downstream end near Donnington Bridge\, with each cox holding onto a rope attached to the bank\, leaving roughly 1.5 lengths between boats. Racing begins with a series of cannon signals: a five-minute gun\, a one-minute gun\, and the starting gun. \n\n\n\nWhen a bump occurs\, both crews involved stop racing and move aside to allow the rest of the division to pass. The ultimate aim is to become Head of the River and retain the top position. It is also possible to over-bump\, where a boat overtakes the one ahead if the two crews in front have already bumped\, swapping places for the following day or next year. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpectator experience \n\n\n\nExpect the banks of the Isis to be packed with spectators\, enjoying the excitement as oars slice through the serene waters. The atmosphere combines tradition\, competition\, and community\, making Summer Eights one of Oxford’s most cherished sporting events. \n\n\n\nThe regatta is organised by Oxford University Rowing Clubs\, the confederation overseeing all college crews and inter-collegiate contests within the University of Oxford. This includes the Oxford University Boat Club (OUBC)\, Oxford University Women’s Boat Club (OUWBC)\, the Oxford University Lightweight Rowing Club (OULRC)\, and the Oxford University Women’s Lightweight Rowing Club (OUWLRC).

For all of those empathetic superpowers\, she also needs someone to catch her when she falls. Firebrands inspire; it’s what attracts people to them. \n\n\n\nHowever\, part of those personalities’ makeup is that they do not wear a harness. They thrive on the freedom and space around them. But\, with that comes danger; you need an emotional crash mat\, and those save lives. It is something we all need at times throughout our lives. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n Beth Hart\n\n\n\nBeth says about the title track\, “This is a true story. I had a moment where I wasn’t in a positive mood\, and I was hanging out on the couch\, crying pretty hard\, and Scott said\, ‘Hey\, do you need a hug?’ I said\, ‘I’ve got nothing inside left to love\, and he said\, you still got me. \n\n\n\n“I said\, hang on a minute; I’ll be right back. I went downstairs and used those words and how he said it. You say something like that\, and someone you love says back\, but you’ve still got me. It’s true. If I’ve still got him\, I’ve still got everything.” \n\n\n\nYou can see this in the ‘You Still Got Me’ video\, poignantly featuring her beloved husband\, Scott. Along with the team around her\, provide that surface to fall on when she needs it. Her fans adore her\, and the feeling is replicated. You can see that night after night on tour\, the adulation she receives and that she also gives back\, which is why there is a bond like few other artists have. \n\n\n\nThat connection has been forged over the last 28 years of releasing music in which she unapologetically wears her heart on her sleeve – like a warrior. Which is precisely what she is. \n\n\n\nIt’s okay not to be okay. It’s okay to struggle sometimes\, and it takes enormous strength to open yourself up to help. Reaching out a hand to have someone hold on to it is strength. This is something that we can all learn. \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 £66.50 \n\n\n\nTickets are subject to a transaction fee of £3.95 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nThursday 04 June 2026 \n\n\n\nDoors open at 7.00pm \n\n\n\nShow start: TBC \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\nThis show has an interval \n\n\n\nAge guidance: \n\n\n\n14+ \n\n\n\nUnder 16s to be accompanied by an adult. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout New Theatre Oxford\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\nThere has been a theatre on George Street for almost 170 years.
