Full programme details will be announced shortly.

Our popular Song at Wolfson series continues in March with a recital given by award-winning Spanish soprano Lorena Paz Nieto and pianist Sholto Kynoch. They will perform a selection of captivating music that takes us from Europe to Russia, Japan, and eventually to Argentina, including songs by Poulenc, Viardot, Rachmaninov and Takuboku Ishakawa. Alberto Ginastera's Cinco canciones populares argentinas brings the evening to a rousing conclusion.



Lorena Paz Nieto is an alumna of the National Opera Studio, a previous winner of the Oxford Song Young Artist Platform and the Ludmilla Andrews Russian Song Prize, and winner of ‘Vocalist of the year’ at the 2019 LUKAS awards.

Abstract: Collaboration is a key element of personalised precision medicine, and its its equility of provision in the world. This talk will take a theme of how organisms adapt and evolve in extreme environments and show examples where natural language processing and relation extraction can help in gene ontology, drug development and re-purposing. A holistic approach to the inter-relationships between digital technologies and the physical environment will be discussed, in relation to seep sea mining and the importance of education.

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.
