Next Concert

The Seven Ages of Man
Saturday 10th July at 7.30pm at The Queen's College Chapel
Directed by Duncan Aspden
with Bill Heine from BBC Oxford (Poetry)
and Christian Wilson (Organ and Piano)

"All the world's a stage... and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages." Shakespeare's wonderful verse provides the inspiration for a splendidly diverse concert comprising music from five centuries. Composers include Eric Whitacre, Gibbons, Britten, Dowland, Kodaly, John Tavener, Brahms, Grainger, Parry and Haydn. From the "mewling and puking" infant, through schoolboy, lover, soldier and judge to the full maturity of the sixth age, and old age's eventual "second childishness" and approaching death, our theme is the passage of time, and the importance of grabbing the moment. Join us in the beautiful setting of The Queen's College Chapel for a delightful evening of music and poetry read by Bill Heine of BBC Oxford.  Poster and Online booking now available.
