Hosted by the Ertegun Scholarship Programme and the Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman Drama, with the kind support of The Oxford Song Network (TORCH), the day brings together academics and performers from different disciplines (including Classicists, English and German literary specialists, musicologists, musicians and poets). The day centres around a midday lecture-recital given by renowned musicians Stephan Loges (bass-baritone) and Natasha Loges (piano) and concludes with a performance by acclaimed poet and translator Josephine Balmer.
