New Worlds: Loops and Lullabies

Now in its 26th year, the Oxford Chamber Music Festival returns with New Worlds. This concert follows American music through its restless inventions and its quietest moments — minimalist pulse and lullaby, Broadway and tango, the concert hall and the film score.

• Philip Glass — String Quartet No. 3 from'Mishima' VI Closing
• Osvaldo Golijov — Lullaby and Doina
• George Gershwin — Porgy and Bess Suite
• John Adams — Shaker Loops for String Septet

• Heitor Villa-Lobos — Preludes Nos. 3 and 4 for Guitar
• Astor Piazzolla — Histoire du Tango for Violin and Guitar
• Franz Waxman / Georges Bizet — Carmen Fantasy, arr. for 4 Violins and Double Bass

This event takes place in Europe's oldest purpose-built concert hall, giving the audience the opportunity to watch world-class players, unusually close up.
