Royalties from The MUSIC of LIFE are used to support concert performances and recordings by
The Oxford Trobadors in association with guest performers. The Oxford Trobadors take their inspiration from the music of the language, Occitan, in which the 12th and 13th century Troubadours composed. The language and culture are still alive today in the south of France and parts of Italy and Catalonia. ‘Troubadour’ in Occitan is written ‘Trobador’. The language resembles Italian, Spanish and Portuguese and is very close to Catalan.
 Recent performances include concerts in the
Holywell
Music Room in June
2008, January 2009 and June 2009, a Soirée Occitane at the Maison Francaise in February 2006, and a concert performed at the launch party of The MUSIC of LIFE held before an audience of 200 in the
Balliol College Hall on 10th June 2006. Various members of the ensemble
have also been involved in launching The MUSIC of LIFE in different parts of the
world and in performances of Lecture Concerts on The MUSIC of LIFE.
