There is provision for wheelchair users.
The first Song at Wolfson event of the year, with a special all-Schubert programme on the eve of the composer’s 227th birthday, from former Oxford Song Young Artist Harriet Burns and pianist Ian Tindale.



Tickets can be purchased via oxfordsong.org



Notes on the programme:

The programme is a deeply personal choice of Schubert songs, exploring the theme of love, but also the friendships and relationships between poets and the composer, out of which he crafted songs of astonishing empathy. From many-splendoured and joyous, to tragic and rejected, homo- and heterosexual, light-hearted and broken-hearted, heavenly and earthly, innocent and anything but...



Former Winners of the Contemporary Song Prize in the International Vocal Competition at ’s-Hertogenbosch, and regular performers at the Oxford International Song Festival, Ian and Harriet bring an outstanding empathy of their own to songs in which we hear, in Ian’s words, ‘young artists being creative together and exploring things’.



CD copies of Schubert Lieder: Love's Lasting Power will be on sale at the end of the recital, which Harriet and Ian will be happy to sign.

Wolfson announces establishment of Ellen Rice Fund

Submitted by isobel.holling on

The fund is named in memory of Dr Ellen Rice, whose association with Wolfson began in October 1978 when she arrived at the College as a Junior Research Fellow. A classicist specialising in the culture and history of ancient Greece, Rome and Ptolemaic Egypt, Ellen served Wolfson in a wide variety of roles during her time at the College: as Senior Research Fellow and member of Governing Body from 1988 to 2020, as Domestic Bursar from 1994 to 2004, as Dean of Degrees, Fellow Librarian, Fellow Archivist, and finally as Emeritus Fellow from 2020 to 2023.

Join OCLW and the Department of English and Creative Writing at Goldsmiths, our Spring 2024 Weinrebe Lecture.



This very special event will be an in conversation between Michael Ignatieff and Hermione Lee, including some readings by Michael, followed by an audience Q&A at the end. Please join us for drinks following the event.



Both biography and memoir are fictions—narratives constructed after the fact from documents, interviews, recollections and memory. Their relation to truth is uncertain and unstable. Michael Ignatieff has written both biography and memoir and is looking forward to the chance to talk with Hermione Lee, herself a biographer and memoirist, about the vexed question of truth in both genres.
