I’ll be at lecturing at Oxford University for the Keble College Early Music Festival on 1 March this year. This is fast developing to be a really significant part of the early music calendar in Oxford. To heckle, tickets and program are available here: https://www.keble.ox.ac.uk/events/kemf-2025/
Slightly flummoxed by the generous write-up that they have given me, but then Oxford is a world in itself, so on that basis, I’ll happily take it, along with the other violin and bow experts I greatly respect who work in a five mile radius of the centre of town… anyway, another opportunity for me to refine my talk on Why Cremona? that I gave for the Violin Society of America’s 50th Anniversary convention.
