Pianistic Showcase: Judith Valerie Engel's Performance
Judith Valerie Engel, a Stone-Mallabar Scholar at Christ Church, will be performing a piano recital as part of the "500 years of music 1525-2025" event. This historic event is a celebration of five centuries of music at the prestigious institution.
The piano recital programme, which features works recovered from the archives, aims to shine a light on the music of women composers who were active in European musical life but have been forgotten over time. The programme includes works by multiple women composers, such as Josepha Aurnhammer, Maria Theresia von Paradis, and Helene Liebmann.
While the exact order in which the pieces will be performed is not specified, the recital will also include discussions of the composers' lives and their social and historical contexts. The specific pieces to be performed, apart from those mentioned, are not yet revealed.
The date and time of the piano recital have not been disclosed in the provided information. However, the "500 years of music 1525-2025" event has a full listing of festival events available on Music at Oxford, and the event can be booked online.
It is uncertain whether the piano recital will be a free or paid event, or if any new or previously unheard works will be performed. Nonetheless, this promising event promises to be a unique and enlightening experience for all music lovers.
Recently, Judith Valerie Engel defended her DPhil in Historical Musicology at Christ Church, adding another impressive achievement to her already impressive academic career.
