DESCRIPTION:Apr 25\, 2026\nAmong the opening-day festivities at Oxford’s 
 imposing Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities\, we’ll single 
 out the choral installation 360 Vessels\, specially commissioned for the g
 lass-domed Great Hall. The installation element is by Es Devlin\, that Nap
 oleon of design whose latest spectacles include the Metropolitan Opera’s
  simultaneously intimate and colossal new Tristan und Isolde. For the Schw
 arzman Centre\, she’s cooking up a circular “landscape” made of 360 
 handmade clay vessels shaped—if you can credit this—“in collaboratio
 n with the Centre’s Institute for Ethics in AI.” For the ear\, there a
 re vocals from the Schola Cantorum of Oxford\, from the pen of the smokin
 ’ Nico Muhly. Let architecture critics sing the praises of the to-die-fo
 r new facility\, which occupies the heart of Oxford’s historic Radcliffe
  Observatory Quarter\, housing the faculties of seven humanities departmen
 ts plus numerous public spaces under a single roof. The entire complex is 
 “Passivhaus certified\,” meaning that it conforms to the most exacting
 \, state-of-the-art sustainability standards. Apart from all those vessels
 \, there’s lots more to pique a visitor’s curiosity. For instance\, th
 e Scottish Ensemble in excerpts from Tchaikovsky’s ravishing Serenade fo
 r Strings\, played from memory as the musicians also execute choreography 
 by Örjan Andersson. For another instance\, the trailblazing audio install
 ation Ära\, promising to evoke pristine Icelandic landscapes. Be there or
  be square.
