FREE OF CHARGE
In this free public event, pianist Maki Sekiya and soprano Loré Lixenberg will perform excerpts from ‘The Silent Songs of Josefine,’ a Kafka-inspired original composition by Can Bilir, born out of a creative collaboration with the research project Kafka’s Transformative Communities. Following the musical performance there will be a roundtable discussion between the performers and the composer, Carolin Duttlinger (Professor of German Literature and Culture, Oxford University) and Eric Clarke (Emeritus Professor of Music, Oxford University).
In Can Bilir’s words, ‘With insights from the Kafka’s Transformative Communities team, I worked to excavate Kafka’s sound world in this piece and to regenerate that world into original drama.’
This is a multidisciplinary exploration of the piece, which will premiere in full on 14 October as part of the Oxford International Song Festival. Book your free place today!
