Music at Oxford: The Marian Consort ‘Seeing through Sound’
Wed 29 January 19:30 - 20:30
A visual and aural feast featuring some of the greatest painters and composers of the Renaissance. Experience an event which vividly reveals how Renaissance art is full of sound. Angels sing out from altarpieces, ancient gods and goddesses compete in musical contests, and music provides an essential backdrop to sensuous, amorous encounters. Music of the Renaissance from composers including Guillaume Dufay and Josquin combines with beautiful new music by Barbara Monk Feldman, providing a contemporary meditation on the experience of viewing art.
This project is supported by the University of Sheffield, project advisor: Prof. Tim Shephard.
Pre concert talk by Prof. Tim Shephard at 6:30 pm. Interval between talk and concert.
