CHURCHILL MUSIC
(INCLUDING LIVE EVENTS!)
Whilst it has been difficult for the College to provide live musical experiences during the various lockdowns and with few students in College, demonstrating Churchillian resourcefulness, students recorded performances at home – and even in some cases combining remote performers together in one video. The footage was sent to the Director of Music and the AV team, who were able to produce a full series of video recitals. These are all available on our recordings page.
We are delighted, however, to now be able to stage some live events before the close of term. The first TODAY, 11 JUNE, in the events sections above requires booking. For the next two, no booking is required:
Music & Words: Why we need hope
13 June, 6:30pm, fields by the Chapel at Churchill
Dame Barbara Stocking, President of Murray Edwards will speak on the subject of Hope, with complementing choral music & poetry. Picnics welcome.
Iona Evening Service
20 June, 6:15pm, fields by the Chapel at Churchill
Choral music and liturgy from the Abbey on Iona.

And finally...Enjoying The Great British Menu
Honorary Fellow Dr Helen Czerski (U&G97) and Professor Catherine Green (U93) were among the guests enjoying the fruits of the chefs' labours at the series finale of The Great British Menu, where a banquet was held to celebrate British innovation and invention. Professor Green most definitely deserves a banquet after being part of the hardworking team that developed the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine! She also features in a Panorama programme all about that vaccine project.
