(Health\, wealth\, several houses and a new mistress?) \n\n\n\nHowever\, at the age of 71\, he composed the Petite Messe Solennelle\, one of the most intriguing works of the 19th century. \n\n\n\nNeither short nor solemn\, the title is either a joke or refers to the small forces he had in mind: 12 singers (including castrati)\, two pianos and a harmonium. Behind the shimmering tunefulness is music of great majesty\, rigour\, depth and hushed solemnity. \n\n\n\nToo long for a church service\, it was first performed in a Parisian salon. Quirkily\, it quotes a composer friend writing in the style of Palestrina in the opening Kyrie and has an extended piano solo as the Offertorium. \n\n\n\nAbove all\, Rossini’s mature genius for melody and musical architecture is dazzling throughout. \n\n\n\nWith four superb soloists\, a harmonium and the inclusion of a performance of Rossini’s ‘Première communion’ from ‘Péchés de vieillesse’ (‘Sins of Old Age’) by dazzling pianist Julian Littlewood\, you are guaranteed a wonderful and memorable spring evening. \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 £20.00 \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 only General Strike in UK history\, it saw three million workers walk out between 04 to 12 May 1926. \n\n\n\nAmong these millions were workers in Oxford: railway\, print and building workers. They walked out in solidarity with miners facing a wage cut and a longer working day. Their actions brought areas of the city to a standstill. \n\n\n\nIn 1984-85\, thousands of miners went on strike over proposed pit closures. The year-long strike was sustained in part by solidarity efforts across the country. In Oxford\, despite geographical distance from the coalmining heartlands\, collective efforts generated extraordinary support for striking miners. \n\n\n\nThrough two performances based on historical accounts\, these two episodes in Oxford’s history – and the links between them – will be brought to light. \n\n\n\nThe event will feature live music from the Sea Green Singers and a paid bar. \n\n\n\nProgramme \n\n\n\n1.45pm – Doors open \n\n\n\n2.00pm – The General Strike in Oxford\, by Peter Cann \n\n\n\nBased on written and oral histories\, records of the Oxford & District Trades Council\, and newspaper archives\, this performance will draw on the experiences of those in Oxford who took part in the 1926 General Strike. \n\n\n\nThe performance will be presented by a group of narrators and performers\, who will give voice to the sequence of events and the people involved over the nine days of the Strike. The performance will be accompanied by songs performed by the Sea Green Singers. Written and devised by local playwright Peter Cann. \n\n\n\n3.00pm – Interval \n\n\n\n3.20pm – 40th Anniversary of the Miners’ Strike in Oxford \n\n\n\nBased on the book ‘The Miners’ Strike in Oxford’\, this portion of the event will tell the story of the extraordinary efforts made in the city to support the miners\, including significant campaigning\, picketing and fundraising. \n\n\n\nFeaturing singing from the Sea Green Singers. This is a reprisal of an event first held at Florence Park Community Centre in 2025 to mark the 40th anniversary of the Miners’ Strike. \n\n\n\n4.00pm – Event ends \n\n\n\nThis event is held to commemorate the centenary of the General Strike\, alongside further events organised by Oxford & District Trades Council. \n\n\n\nAccess  \n\n\n\nThere is step-free\, level entry access to the Town Hall via the entrance closest to Carfax Tower (to the left of the main steps as you face the Town Hall).
