As the end of Summer term approaches, there's a chance to hear the Academic Festival Overture, based on student songs, by Johannes Brahms. Brahms composed it on being awarded an honorary degree by Breslau University. Among the other listeners' requests is a performance of the Willow Song from Rossini's version of Otello, and a burst of traditional Northumbrian piping.
