Alessandra Palidda

We are sad to share with you the news that Oxford Brookes University has decided to close its music department. Below a statement from the music team - we are all devastated.

Our statement in response to the heart-breaking and short-sighted proposal to close the Music Department at Oxford Brookes University @musicatbrookes 👇

@MartenNoorduin Nope nope nope… not only they are not good, but they have a specific weirdness to them..

@brisunimusic This promises to be such a fun and interesting day! Please get in touch also if you want to attend without presenting!

As part of the School of Arts research seminar series, Dr Alessandra Palidda gives a preview of her forthcoming minigraph about "Urban Spectacle in Republican Milan", which will be published in the CUP series "Music and the City". @ResearchTDE

A wonderful example of #supporttrhoughmusicfor those who are available! 🇺🇦

Igor Levit doesn’t mention her by name, but…

And it is #imagesofresearch day 5 already! With the world going upside-down, here’s a soothing image of a Butterfly-themed party that took place at the Società del Giardino of Milan in 1907 (Ars et Labor).

Day 4 of #imagesofresearch, and I have quite a beautiful and interesting one coming from the December-1907 issue of Ars et Labor… have I missed something? ❤️

Welcome to day 3 of #imagesofresearch! Today, I give you a little snapshot of La Bohème’s autograph score, where Puccini marked the moment of Mimi’s death in a rather clear way 😂

It’s day 2 of #imagesofresearch! Today, the beautiful title page of Musica e Musicisti - Gazzetta musicale di Milano from August 1903. Reminiscent of Venice and, for me, of Losey’s Don Giovanni, although it did not yet exist!

@Joe0C @NormalComposers Ahahaha yes, definitely! Thanks, @JoeOC!

Starting a challenge with myself today: upload an image from my research every day for 30 days! Let’s start with a hilarious one of Puccini on a camel by the Pyramids! #imagesofresearch

@musicatbrookes @oxford_brookes @obuarts Go, team! It has been a very challenging, but also very motivating year!

We are proud but also rather overwhelmed that 91.7% of our music finalists declared that they were happy with their programme! It was a very tough year for staff and students, who worked together to make it a success. #NSS2021

@kavaemma I hear you, Emma… 🥺

Shameless promotion moment, but needed with such a wonderful project and outcome! ❤️@AngeliEdizioni #lacartaveloce #storiadelleditoria #esceoggi

Last performed in the UK in 1987, Gluck's The Crown from @bamptonopera on May 18 will be the first live performance attended by a live audience at @StJohnsSmithSq since the start of the third lockdown in England. Lovely. #Classical #Opera blog.thoroughlygood.me/2021/04/20/bam…

So glad this fabulous project has come to a successful conclusion, and to see this out! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
