The Silent Songs of Josefine

As part of the Kafka centenary celebrations in 2024, in partnership with the Oxford Kafka Research Centre and the Bodleian Libraries, Oxford Song commissioned the composer Can Bilir to create a new song cycle based on Kafka. The result is The Silent Songs of Josefine, a breathtaking and bold new work for soprano and piano, given its world premiere tonight by Anna Dennis, winner of the Singer Award at the 2023 RPS Awards, and acclaimed pianist John Reid.
