Join 100 musicians to perform in the Sheldonian Theatre, Oxford!
The Oxford Minimalist Ensemble (OME) is a chamber ensemble based in Oxford
and founded by Alexander Campkin.
It was founded to represent the influential wave of Minimalist music that
began in the US in the 1960s. Pioneers of minimalism include composers such as
Terry Riley, Steve Reich and Philip Glass. Later composers include John Adams
(whose influences include rock music) and Michael Nyman who is best known for
his film scores.
This extremely influential style of composition has until recently been
largely neglected on the stages of Oxford music. The Oxford Minimalist Ensemble
will begin to fill this void in Oxfordshire.
The next concert is on Thursday 11th May
at 8pm.
Play an instrument? Grade 7 standard or above? Why not
perform in the concert. Have the opportunity to
play Terry Riley's In C.
