May 3rd Piano Recital and Drinks Reception

The Shigeru Kawai Concert series at the Oxford Union continues.  Each term alumni are invited to join this black-tie event which commences with a drinks reception in the Goodman Library at 17:00 followed by an exciting programme of music.

In March, Lara Melda performed her favourite pieces of Beethoven and Chopin for us.  On May 3rd, we welcome Huw Montague Rendall, Baritone and pianist, Joseph Middleton.  Gramaphone magazine described Joseph's piano-playing as ' .. razor-sharp and meltingly seductive. It sparkles with wonderful little details, in short, its playing that strikes an ideal balance [..] A performace to cherish: fresh, intelligent and beautiful'.  

This Kawai-hosted concert series is a wonderful excuse to visit the Union again. Join us to meet with fellow alumni, remember the Union's unique atmosphere and listen to some of our world class guest muscians. Book your May 3rd tickets here: https://bookoxex.com/Go/ShigeruKawaiConcertSeries.

If you cannot join us next month, look out for the Michaelmas event which will be highlighted in our newsletter next term.
