Every year filmmakers from the Ruskin School of Art work with film composers from St Hilda's College and the Faculty of Music to create a series of art film 'shorts' that may in some cases involve live performance. This year there will be eight projects involving Masters composers from the Music Faculty, with the project being convened by Professor Martyn Harry.
Contrapunctus: Charles & Isabel - The Royal Wedding of 1526
Oxford’s renowned early-music consort Contrapunctus recreates the musical world surrounding one of the great royal marriages of the Renaissance: the wedding of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain, and Isabella of Portugal in Seville in 1526.
Abolition Song and its Legacies
This is the final event of a two‑year research project, bringing together music, scholarship and contemporary reflection. Alongside performances, the hour‑long programme features contributions from the project’s researchers, offering insight into the historical and musical contexts behind the work.
