On 12th February, the world premiere of the new song cycle My Name is Oswald took place in the Chapel at King’s College London. My Name is Oswald is a new song cycle by award-winning composer Hannah Conway and writer Hazel Gould, based on the multiple stories of Oswald of Northumbria, and drawing on new research about Oswald by Sarah Bowden and Johanna Dale. Timothy Dickinson (baritone), Peter Sparks (clarinet), Joe Walters (horn) and Hannah Conway (piano) performed the songs, joined by the King’s College Staff Choir. The performance was interspersed with conversation and readings from medieval texts about Oswald in the original languages.
