OVID METAMORPHOSES 10: Public Reading with Kithara Accompaniment

On Friday 23rd March, in Magdalen College Chapel, students and faculty will read their translations of the Metamorphoses. In doing so they will join their voices to hundreds more across the world, participants in a worldwide celebration of Ovid’s poetry.

They will be accompanied by Michael Levy on a kithara – an ancient lyre traditionally used for performances of classical poetry. Michael’s compositions for ancient instruments have been featured on BBC radio and at the British Museum; his YouTube demonstrations and tutorials have introduced Greek music to thousands.

The event, simultaneous with similar events around the world, will begin at 9am on Friday 23^rd March, and finish around 10.15. It will be free to all.
