To celebrate the launch of  the artist in residence, the harpsichordist Jane Chapman, we are holding a lecture-recital in collaboration with the College’s Department of Music and India Institute. Dr Katherine Butler Schofield (Department of Music) will give an illustrated talk, putting European and Indian sources together to tell the story of the original songs and singers behind the Hindustani airs that were so popular among Anglo-Indian audiences in late 18th century British India. Jane will perform airs from various sources, including The Oriental Miscellany, accompanied by baroque flautist Yu-Wei Hu.
