About James Morrison

Fresh from celebrating his highest chart position in 14 years with his Top 5 album Fight Another Day, and a show-stealing appearance on Strictly Come Dancing, James Morrison is heading back to where it all began.

He’s marking 20 years since his debut album Undiscovered first hit the charts, with a special anniversary tour.

Undiscovered was the album that started it all. Before its release, James was fitting carpets by day and playing open mics by night, dreaming of a bigger future. When the album arrived in 2006, it changed everything, thanks to hits like You Give Me Something and Wonderful World.

The record topped the UK charts, spent a year in the Top 40, went 5× Platinum, and earned James a BRIT Award for British Male Solo Artist.

On this special tour, James will perform Undiscovered in full, from the chart-topping singles to fan favourites like The Pieces Don’t Fit Anymore and This Boy, as well as some rarely heard songs such as One Last Chance and How Come.

He’ll also round off each night with highlights from the rest of his incredible career.

Don’t miss the chance to celebrate 20 years of Undiscovered with James Morrison, an album that continues to mean so much to fans and artists alike.

About Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra: Sibelius Symphony No. 2

Ravel Le tombeau de Couperin

Saint-Saëns Violin Concerto No. 3 in B minor, Op. 61

Sibelius Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 43

Alexandra Conunova violin

Andreas Ottensamer conductor

After writing two light but entertaining violin concertos, Saint-Saëns upped his game in 1880. In his Violin Concerto No. 3, he delivered a deliciously scored masterpiece characterised by its brilliant solo part, building intensity, room-stilling slow movement and finale inspired by the music of the country it was written in: Spain.

Alexandra Conunova plays perhaps the greatest French violin concerto in between music that finds hope from grief: Ravel’s etched memorials to fallen comrades and the symphony in which Sibelius wrestles the most inspiring optimism from music born of tragedy.

About The Tannahill Weavers

Traditional Celtic music at its best – with fire-driven instrumentals and songs, haunting ballads and a good dose of humour, the Tannahill Weavers have transformed traditional material and brought it into the modern world, vitally alive and kicking.

Members of the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame, the Tannahill Weavers have recently been joined by piper Iain MacGillivray, who has worked recently on such exciting productions as Outlander and Men in Kilts, and Alistair McCulloch, who teaches at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland when not on tour.

Reviews

“Formed from a Paisley pub session in 1968, seminal trailblazers the Tannahill Weavers now also rank as national treasures.”

Glasgow Celtic Connections

“The music may be pure old time Celtic, but the drive and enthusiasm are akin to straight ahead rock and roll.”

Winnipeg Free Press

“An especially eloquent mixture of the old and the new.”

Interval

R. Schumann Faschingsschwank aus Wien

Ravel Menuet sur le nom d’Haydn

Ohana 12 Etudes d’interprétation for piano, IV. Main gauche seule (in memoriam Maurice Ravel)

Ravel La valse

The original performer for this concert date was Jonathan Powell, whose sad death was announced at the beginning of January.

We 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.

Jean-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.

Hummel, 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.

Ravel’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.

And 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.

Kathryn Tickell & The Darkening

About Kathryn Tickell & The Darkening

Named after the old Northumbrian word for twilight, ‘The Darkening’ is made up of four North-East England-based members:

Kathryn Tickell (Northumbrian smallpipes, fiddle, vocals),

Amy Thatcher (accordion, synth, clogs, vocals),

Heather Cartwright (vocals, guitar), and

Joe Truswell (drums, percussion).

Together with Stef Conner from Cambridge (vocals, lyres), these dazzling musicians create musical magic; dynamic and unique “Ancient Northumbrian Futurism”.

Based in the shadow of Hadrian’s Wall yet reaching out to the wider world, Kathryn Tickell & The Darkening explore the connecting threads of music, landscape and people over a period of almost 2000 years.

Songs range from themes of freedom, nature and venturing out into the world after times of darkness, to a Roman inscription with links to Libya and Syria magnetically pulled into the 21st century with glorious vocal harmonies and the wildest of piping.

About O2 Academy Oxford

It was originally known as The Venue and then the much-respected Zodiac, both of which paved the way for O2 Academy Oxford, which officially launched in September 2007, with performances from New Young Pony Club, The Magic Numbers and Young Knives.

Since then, the O2 Academy Oxford has established itself as one of the city’s greatest venues for live music and club nights, with some of the best gigs to date coming from Ed Sheeran, Foals, Stereophonics, Ozzy Osbourne, Babyshambles, Hozier and Royal Blood.

Kira Freije: Unspeak the Chorus

About Kira Freije: Unspeak the Chorus

Walk amongst Kira Freije’s life-sized figures within an atmospheric and emotionally charged space, where groupings suggest fragments of larger imagined narratives.

Modern Art Oxford presents Unspeak the Chorus, the Turner Prize nominated solo exhibition by British artist Kira Freije (b.1985, lives and works in London), featuring a new body of work co-commissioned by Modern Art Oxford and The Hepworth Wakefield.

The exhibition is Freije’s first major solo presentation in the UK, bringing together around twenty hand-welded, life-size metal figures, with the artist expanding her practice through the inclusion of animals and textiles. The resulting work transforms the Upper Gallery into an immersive and emotionally charged environment in which human and animal worlds meet.

Freije’s hand-welded metal figures, arranged in intimate groupings, suggest fragments of a story without ever resolving into a fixed narrative. United by a palpable sense of kinship, the figures appear at once connected and self-contained – celebrating, loving, grieving, guiding, resting, reaching and exhaling. While subtle interactions unfold between the sculptures, Freije deliberately leaves the scene open, inviting viewers to bring their own interpretations and emotional responses to the work.

To create her life-size sculptures, Freije casts her own hands and feet in aluminium before constructing each figure from the ground up. Welding strips of steel together in a process akin to drawing an outline in space, she builds skeletal forms that are at once delicate and robust. Faces, or fragments of faces, are cast from people close to her; fabric, found materials and hand-blown glass elements are incorporated to complete materially layered scenes that combine strength and vulnerability.

Developed in collaboration with lighting designer Matt Daw, Unspeak the Chorus responds directly to the distinctive architecture of Modern Art Oxford’s Upper Gallery, using atmospheric lighting and staging to heighten the emotional presence of the sculptures.

About Olivia Plender: Little Fennel’s Complaint

Discover the hidden history of women’s bodies, medicine and resistance through Olivia Plender’s major new solo exhibition.

Modern Art Oxford is delighted to present Little Fennel’s Complaint, a major solo exhibition by Olivia Plender (b. 1977, London), exploring historic and ongoing inequalities in women’s healthcare, from early modern witchcraft to contemporary debates on reproductive rights and medical authority.

Plender developed the exhibition through research with leading Oxford institutions, including the Bodleian Library, Oxford Botanic Garden and John Radcliffe Hospital. Across embroidered textiles, watercolours, drawings, mobiles, and sound works, she examines how women’s healthcare has been recorded, classified, and practised over time.

The exhibition combines new commissions, existing works, and historic manuscripts to highlight Plender’s multidisciplinary, research-led practice. Installations trace shifting approaches to medicine and diagnosis, opening with a presentation inspired by contemporary hospital architectures and waiting rooms. This builds on Plender’s ongoing project Our Bodies are Not the Problem (2021–), developed with the Glasgow Women’s Library, exploring the links between ill health, disability and structural inequalities.

Historical perspectives include Plender’s series Bringing Down the Flowers (2023–), watercolours in the style of genteel 19th-century flower paintings of plants historically used to induce abortion, referencing orally transmitted reproductive knowledge. Three 17th-century manuscripts by astrologer-physician Richard Napier, on loan from the Bodleian Library, document consultations with women about their reproductive health, alongside other ‘women’s problems’ such as ‘green sickness’, a diagnosis formerly given only to unmarried women.

Displayed alongside these is Plender’s hanging mobile (2024) reflecting on humoral medicine (based on the ancient theory of the humours) and other systems of classification from the Renaissance to today. The exhibition culminates in a large-scale embroidered textile loosely based on scenes from the Malleus Maleficarum, a notorious treatise on witchcraft written by Heinrich Kramer (1486), which portrayed women – particularly midwives and healers – as susceptible to demonic influence.

By placing historic manuscripts alongside contemporary artworks, the exhibition asks who has the authority to define what is rational, legitimate, and true, and explores how systems of knowledge shape lived experience while opening possibilities for alternative understandings.

Ella Al-Shamahi: Becoming Human

Ella Al-Shamahi: Becoming Human

About Ella Al-Shamahi: Becoming Human

This is the story of Homo sapiens… us.

Host of BBC landmark show Human, Ella Al-Shamahi, palaeoanthropologist, TV presenter, explorer and stand up, presents a talk on our remarkable origin story.

Once upon a time, we shared this planet with many species of humans – it has been said that our world was a bit like The Lord of the Rings. To start with, we Homo sapiens weren’t that remarkable; our origins were, in fact, rather humble and yet somehow today we are the only ones left.

But we didn’t just survive against all odds, we thrived, innovated and travelled like no other species of human – becoming the explorer species who built cities, iPhones and painted the Sistine Chapel. Our success was profound, but how on Earth did it happen and at what cost?

Ella Al-Shamahi started studying evolution as a creationist and so she interweaves her own story, demonstrating the power of tribalism not just in the past, but also in the present. Expect a talk that draws on the latest discoveries, heart, humour and wild expedition stories.

Al-Shamahi is a National Geographic Explorer specialising in searching for fossils in Palaeolithic caves in politically unstable, hostile and disputed territories. She is the presenter of HUMAN, a flagship BBC/PBS science series, as well as other TV and radio shows. She is also the author of a Times/Sunday Times book of the year, ‘The Handshake: A Gripping History.’

About Wolvercote Community Market

Established in 2002, Wolvercote Community Market is the longest running Farmers’ Market in Oxford, and one of three in the North Oxford area. The market aims to provide the community with locally-produced great tasting food.

The Sunday market serves the community and visitors by providing fresh, affordable and ethically sourced food as well as a place to meet, eat and socialise with friends and neighbours. It also provides a free marketplace for local producers and crafts people.

Regular stallholders bring fresh fruit and veg, locally reared meat, sustainably sourced fish, artisan bread, cheese and milk. Other traders produce fantastic cakes, jams, chutneys, pasta, chocolates and even plants and soaps.

The market has an amazing range of freshly made dishes from diverse food regions – Japanese, Middle-Eastern, Asian, and the Mediterranean. There’s also a cafe that serves coffee, tea, cakes, and a ‘Full Wolvercote’ breakfast.

The market is open every Sunday from 10.00am to noon at The White Hart Community Pub in Godstow Road, Lower Wolvercote.

There is a Repair Café and bike clinic on the 2nd Sunday of each monthBring along your broken small electrical item, and a trained volunteer will try to fix it for you and save it from the landfill. They also have volunteer mechanics to provide tune-ups and repairs, and to offer advice to get your cycles rolling smoothly.
