“Without music, life would be a mistake” - Friedrich Nietzsche

We are extremely excited to welcome two legends of classical music this term: pianist Murray Perahia and opera singer Sir John Tomlinson. In January, Perahia will explore ways of performing the classics. He will be joined by the Doric String Quartet for an open rehearsal and concert featuring Beethoven’s String Quartet op.130, with Grosse Fugue. At the end of February, Sir John Tomlinson will tell us more about the construction of operatic roles, looking at Wagner’s Ring Cycle and Harrison Birtwistle’s Minotaur. We will also hear him sing music by Britten, Wolf and Shostakovich on the theme of “Michaelangelo in song”.

In March, we look forward, too, to visits from Natasha Walter (Humanitas Visiting Professor in Women’s Rights) and Kwame Anthony Appiah (Mellon CDI Visiting Fellow).

Two new collaborative research projects start up this term as we recruit new postdocs to work on the AHRC funded Making Visible: the visual and graphic practices of the early Royal Society, led by Sachiko Kusukawa, and Technology and Democracy, part of the Cambridge Centre for Digital Knowledge (CCDK) headed by David Runciman and John Naughton.CRASSH is now buzzing with postdoctoral researchers (36) and collaborative work. It’s thrilling to see connections being made and intensive work underway, even if we have had to rearrange the deck-chairs somewhat…

Our programmes of conferences and seminars also continue to thrive. This term, we will touch on the themes of justice in Africa, global archive, early modern criticism, print media in the colonial world and many more.

Keep an eye on our Youtube and University Streaming Media Service channels where videos and podcasts of seminars, lectures and conferences are available to access at any time!
