Wolfson College presents a concert of Romantic piano music for four and six hands performed by current Wolfson students. Highlights include the Berceuse from Fauré's Dolly Suite, Saint-Saëns’s tempestuous Danse Macabre, and Rachmaninoff’s dances for six hands. 

Works by Beach, Debussy, Fauré, Moszkowski, Rachmaninoff, Saint-Saëns, and Schubert.

Performed by Jessica Rahardjo, Emma Cameron, Tein van der Lugt, Theodor Borrmann, and Frederik Florenz.

Admission is free; donations are gratefully received for AMREF.

Ella Taylor is a former prize winner at the Kathleen Ferrier Awards and has been described by The Guardian as having ‘a voice of tempered steel, wrapped in a warm velvet cloak'. They gave a sensational Emerging Artist performance at the 2021 Festival and we are thrilled to welcome them back for this concert.



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.
