Welcome to Trinity
I’m delighted to welcome you to another Events at Trinity season. Since the (then) Prince of Wales opened the magnificent Levine Building in Trinity’s woodland garden, we have welcomed thousands of members of the public to enjoy tours, talks and performances.
Whether you’re a school student, an Oxford resident, a visitor to our city, member of the University or alumnus, we hope you will find something in our programme to spark your curiosity.
We’ve designed a programme to cater for a wide range of interests: from Karim Khan, the Chief Prosecutor at the International Criminal Court at the Hague, to artist collaborators Sir Antony Gormley and Poet Laureate Simon Armitage. Experience world-leading musicians performing in the exquisite acoustic of the de Jager Auditorium. Or join our garden tours and talks, and take a first glimpse of Trinity’s newly planted herbaceous border.
There’s much to enjoy and we look forward to welcoming you!
Dame Hilary Boulding President, Trinity
College
Welcome to this season’s concerts featuring performers from across the globe in music that sits at the heart of their repertoire, planned explicitly with the wonderful acoustic and intimate setting of Trinity’s de Jager auditorium in mind.
The season features three former BBC Young Musicians of the Year: one of Britain’s greatest pianists, Paul Lewis, performs Franz Schubert’s extraordinary last three sonatas; Laura van der Heijden brings an eclectic programme inspired by William T Horton’s The Path to the Moon; and we welcome Ben Goldscheider and his trio in a programme of works including one by their pianist, the eminent Welsh composer Huw Watkins.
Less familiar works – by Lili Boulanger, Florence Price, Clara Schumann, Charlotte Sohy, Guilamme Lekeu and Mel Bonis – sit alongside some of the most treasured in the classical canon, including JS Bach’s Goldberg Variations, Beethoven’s Ghost Trio and the Caesar Frank Violin Sonata.
In May, period instrument ensemble La Nuova Musica combines Telemann’s vivid Don Quixote suite set alongside some of his great friend Handel’s best known and loved arias for soprano (and maybe a surprise or two).
As ever, we’re delighted to host the Oxford International Song Festival in a feast of vocal music.
There’s much to enjoy and we look forward to welcoming you!

Trinity Talks
Oxford Preservation Trust
The Trinity Popes
Wed 30 Oct 2024 / 5pm
Walls lined with portraits have become an integral part of the fabric of today’s Oxford colleges, but the 16 th century beginnings of this tradition tell the story of a transformative period for the University. In this talk, Anna Clark, historian and Oxford Preservation Trust’s Engagement Officer, explores the relationship between the early history of Trinity College and portraits of its Founders, Sir Thomas and Lady Elizabeth Pope. She combines images, archival documents, and technical analysis to piece together a picture of a fledgling academic community and its supporters.
Join us to view several of the portraits in-situ in the College’s newly restored dining hall, with an introduction by Chris Ferguson, Estates Bursar. The talk will follow in the College’s Garden Room.

Karim Khan
No one above the law: the International Criminal Court in a world on fire
Thu 7 Nov 2024 / 5.30pm
The International Criminal Court seeks to hold to account those guilty of some of the world’s worst crimes. Champions of the court say it deters would-be war criminals, bolsters the rule of law, and offers justice to victims of atrocities. But major governments including the USA, China and Russia are not ICC parties, and the ICC’s ongoing investigations of alleged crimes including arrest warrants in the Ukraine and Israel-Hamas wars represent a critical test for the court’s power. The ICC’s Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan will discuss the role of the court and the challenges it faces in ongoing conflicts such as those in Ukraine and Israel / Gaza. He will be joined in conversation by GCHQ Director of Legal Affairs and Mission Policy Shehzad Charania MBE.

Professor Lucy Easthope
When the dust settles
Wed 13 Nov 2024 / 5.30pm
Lucy Easthope has been a disaster planner for two turbulent decades. She works in preparedness, response and aftermath and throughout this time has challenged others to think differently about what comes next, after tragic events. She is a passionate and thought-provoking voice in an area that few know about: emergency planning. However, in the time of the Covid-19 pandemic, her work became decidedly more mainstream. Alongside advising both the Prime Minister’s Office and many other government departments and charities during the pandemic, she has found time to reflect on a life in disaster. Her book When the Dust Settles: Stories of Love, Loss and Hope from an Expert in Disaster was released in March 2022 and was a Sunday Times bestseller.
In her talk, Lucy will share lessons on a life in extremis and insights into the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

Diplomacy:
Growing up in Chairman Mao’s inner sanctum
Wed 5 Feb 2025 / 5.30pm
Sirin Phathanothai was the daughter of a high-ranking Thai government advisor. As an 8-year-old child in the 1950s, together with her 12-year-old brother, she was given by the Thai Government to China as a diplomatic goodwill offering, to be brought up as the ward of Premier Zhou Enlai. For 13 years, Sirin had a unique upbringing in the heart of the leadership: holidays with Chairman Mao and pool parties in the leadership compound; but she also experienced the most turbulent years of Chairman Mao’s rule. She was caught up in the Cultural Revolution, vilified and persecuted by Red Guards, and forced to denounce her family. Sirin escaped China to Britain following a private request from Zhou Enlai to Edward Heath. This evening, Sirin tells her remarkable story.

The future of the NHS:
Balancing competing priorities for the benefit of patients and policy

What is the future of the NHS?
Join our distinguished panel including Jonathan van Tam, former Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Professor Kamila Hawthorne, Chair of the Royal College of General Practitioners, and leading figures from the sector in conversation with Trinity Fellow and Clinical Director of the University of Oxford Primary Care Clinical Trials Unit, Christopher Butler as they consider and discuss the future of the NHS.

Revolution In Words
Fri 18 Oct 2024 / 11am
Fiona Stafford (speaker)
Lord Byron was a revolutionary figure in the history of English literature and European politics. This year marks the bicentenary of his untimely death in Greece, where he had gone to fight for Greek independence from the Ottoman empire. Fiona Stafford – Professor of English at Somerville College, whose Everyman selection, Byron’s Travels, was published earlier this year – introduces this most compelling poet, song-writer, socialite, solitary, lover, friend, rebel, cosmopolitan, and copious correspondent, prior to today’s Byron-inspired lunchtime concert at 1pm.

Revolution In Music
Fri 18 Oct 2024 / 3pm
Jonathan Cross (speaker)
Ahead of this evening’s concerts, Jonathan Cross, Professor of Music at Christ Church, introduces Arnold Schoenberg and the contradictions that surround him: a revolutionary figure steeped in tradition, a rule breaker and a rule maker, whose music can be challenging but is often surprisingly beautiful.
This is an ideal introduction for anyone who doesn’t yet know what all the fuss is about!

Benjamin Britten: Cello Sonata in C Op. 65
William T Horton’s The Path to the Moon is a monochrome image of a ridge winding through space, with vertiginous drops on either side. It’s the inspiration for a programme that has its own potent atmosphere, on one hand evoking risk and striving and on the other, the beguilement of moonlight.
Winner of the BBC Young Musician of the Year, Laura van der Heijden’s extraordinary cello playing is matched by her imaginative and eclectic programming.

The Iranian Harpsichordist Mahan Esfahani has made it his life’s mission to rehabilitate the instrument in the mainstream of concert instruments, and to that end his creative programming and work in commissioning new works have drawn the attention of critics and audiences across Europe, Asia, and North America. He was the first and only harpsichordist to be a BBC New Generation Artist (2008-2010), a Borletti-Buitoni prize winner (2009), and a nominee for Gramophone’s Artist of the Year (2014, 2015, and 2017).

Sun 13 Apr 2025 / 2pm

The ‘Ghost’ Trio is one of two trios Beethoven published as Op. 70 in 1808 at the height of his ‘heroic’ middle period. These trios represent Beethoven’s great expansion of the genre. This was dubbed the ‘Ghost’ Trio because of its undeniably eerie-sounding slow movement.
Ravel’s Piano Trio was the last of his great pre-War scores. The Trio is an astounding, timeless creation that quickly established itself as one of the leading works in its genre.
The Sitkovetsky Trio has established itself internationally as an exceptional piano trio. Their thoughtful and committed approach has brought the ensemble critical acclaim and invitations to top concert halls around the world.
