Vanessa Latarche live in Oxford

Experience Vanessa Latarche live on August 1st

Vanessa Latarche will perform at the Jacqueline du Pré Music Building in Oxford on August 1st, 2026. Latarche is a pianist known for her interpretations of Romantic and 20th/21st-century repertoire, frequently focusing on lesser-known works alongside established classics. Her performances are often praised for their lyrical quality and technical precision, with a particular emphasis on expressive nuance and colouristic playing. She has a discography encompassing composers such as Chopin, Rachmaninoff, and Medtner.

The Jacqueline du Pré Music Building, opened in 2009, serves as the primary home for the University of Oxford’s music department. Named in honour of the celebrated cellist Jacqueline du Pré, an alumna of St Hilda’s College, Oxford, the building was designed by Rick Mather Architects. It incorporates a 400-seat concert hall renowned for its acoustics, specifically designed to accommodate a wide range of musical ensembles and solo performances. The building also houses teaching rooms, practice spaces, a music library and research facilities. Its design intentionally blends modern architectural elements with sensitivity to the surrounding historic landscape of Oxford University.
