Private Hall of the University of Oxford
Welcome to SJE Arts’
5th season
We have lots of really lovely concerts to tempt you,
which we felt deserved more space and a bigger
programme; we hope you like the new look. SJE
International Piano series will be in its 4th year and,
starting in January with Sean Shibe, guitar, look
out for the SJE Next Generation series, to promote
really exceptional young professionals as they launch
their careers. We have taken note of the request for
Sunday late afternoon concerts and you will see we
have a number of those throughout the season and,
if successful, we hope to include a regular spot next
Autumn.

Come and Sing
with the Oxford Bach Choir
The Sixteen, Christmas Concert
The Three Kings
A Sea Symphony – Ralph Vaughan Williams
Harry Christophers, conductor
Come and join the Oxford Bach Choir for an exciting day to rehearse and perform
this great work with the well-known choral conductor Paul Spicer. This is an
opportunity to learn a great choral masterpiece – one of the first symphonies to use
a choir as an integral part of the musical texture throughout the work. It helped set
the stage for a new era of symphonic and choral music in Britain during the first half
of the 20th century.
The annual visit by internationally renowned a capella group The Sixteen, has become
an eagerly anticipated feature of the SJE Christmas Season. This year their focus is
‘The Three Kings’, the programme including settings of Palestrina and Lassus on the
antiphone Videntes stellam Magi; traditional carols such as I wonder as I wander and
The First Nowell; Three Kings of Orient composed by J.H. Hopkins Jnr. in 1857;
contemporary settings by James Bassi and the choral anthem Long, long ago by
Herbert Howells.

Neil Cowley, piano; Rex Horan, bass; Evan Jenkins, drums
Schubert: Allegreto D 915
Debussy: Préludes. Book 1 (Selection)
Neil Cowley Trio tour with their sixth studio album released September 2016.
Spacebound Apes is a concept album: an inspiring story woven together with some of
the most breath-taking music that pianist/composer Cowley has created to date: “This
is a project I’ve been working towards for a long time,” Cowley says, “it takes themes of
guilt, loss and longing with a few twists along the way. It’s been utterly immersive yet
incredibly exciting. And yes, I’m not ashamed to say it, it’s a concept album!”
Javier Perianes is established as one of the most talented pianists of his generation. Awarded
the Spanish National Music Prize in 2012, Perianes’ 2015–6 season included his debut with
the Wiener Philharmoniker, Royal Concertgebouw and Chicago Symphony Orchestras in
addition to acclaimed returns to the London Philharmonic and Royal Philharmonic Orchestras.
Perianes will perform Schubert’s last, and most demanding, Piano Sonata before transforming
himself into a poet of the piano for the Debussy and de Falla Fantasia Baetica.

The Schubert Series I
Over four concerts, spread through the Series, James Lisney takes us on an exploration
of Schubert’s eleven completed piano sonatas. Lisney has gained authority over this
repertoire with acclaimed recordings and cyclic presentations at London’s South Bank
Centre, the Leipzig Gewandhaus and the Amsterdam Concertgebouw; later this year
he will be taking his innovative Schubertreise series to Mumbai. As with all four of the
concerts, tonight’s programme draws from a wide range of Schubert’s thirteen year
involvement with the piano sonata.

Three musicians with independent careers combine to great effect in Phoenix Piano
Trio. Pianist Sholto Kynoch is well known to Oxford audiences as the founder and
Artistic Director of the award-winning Oxford Lieder Festival; Jonathan Stone is a soloist,
orchestral leader and the violinist in the Doric String Quartet, one of Britain’s foremost
string quartets; principal cellist with many UK orchestras and also a successful composer,
Christian Elliott is a member of the Zehetmair Quartet. Tonight the Trio’s programme is a
tribute to Haydn’s lesser known genre, the jewel-like piano trios, which he composed for
private performance and consequently with the freedom to show his true character.

Chamber Orchestra
MacMillan: Seven Last Words from the Cross
Elgar: Introduction and Allegro for Strings
Tickets: £25, £20, £15 Students and under 18s, £5
The A440 Chamber Orchestra join Commotio to perform James MacMillan’s Cantata
for Choir and Strings Seven Last Words from the Cross. Widely admired as one of
MacMillan’s finest achievements, his Seven Last Words promises an absorbing and
moving experience in concert, for performers and audience alike. This cantata follows
Christ’s final utterances at the Crucifixion, meditating on each to form a dramatic and
emotional sequence. Both the vocal and instrumental parts draw on characteristic
models: Lutheran baroque techniques for the chorus, and the sophisticated British and
Polish 20th century traditions of writing for the string orchestra.

Tickets: £12/£8 from www.commotio.org or on the door
London Firebird Orchestra’s Oxford debut is a musical journey taking us to the great
cities of Europe. Commencing in Vienna, birthplace of Mozart’s operas, we travel to
Leipzig, host to the premiere of Mendelssohn’s dazzling violin concerto, and finally to
London for one of Haydn’s greatest London symphonies – the ‘Drum Roll’. Acclaimed for
the vibrancy and passion of their performances, the gifted young professional musicians
will be under the baton of 2015 Aspen Conducting Prize winner George Jackson.

Bach: St John Passion
Orchestra of St John’s
OSJ Oxford Voices and soloists
Written for Good Friday in 1724, the passion was the centrepiece of Bach’s year-long
cycle of liturgical cantatas. Perhaps the biggest joy of the St John Passion is that, for all
the ferocity and sorrow of the Good Friday story, it is a truly optimistic work, anticipating
the resurrection with music suffused with light and hope.

The Schubert Series III
Piano Sonatas D 157, D 845 & D 960
Schubert first and last. James Lisney complements his traversal of the eleven completed
piano sonatas by adding the incomplete Sonata in E from 1815 (the composer’s first surviving sonata project) as a counterpoint to the magisterial Sonata in B flat. The latter work
is testament to Schubert’s profound confidence in drawing upon Beethoven’s heroic
masterpieces without overwhelming his own unique voice.
