The Oxford Lieder Festival: 14 - 29 October 2011
This year, the esteemed Oxford Lieder Festival celebrates its 10th anniversary in style, bringing together internationally acclaimed artists and emerging talent in its most ambitious and exciting programme to date.
Founded by Sholto Kynoch with a series of just seven concerts, it has since grown to become our leading song festival and one of the most respected in Europe. It now features a staggering 47 events and offers something for all ages, from having a go at singing and learning about song, to hearing famous performers up close.
Each recital is a story-telling in song; the engagement between audience and singer is personal, and gripping. And just as in previous years, audiences are invited into one of the best recital rooms that the world has to offer: the Holywell Music Room. Mozart stepped into it – and we all can too this October!
The festival’s 10th Anniversary celebrations include an exciting variety of events: a free Radcliffe Square concert, Schubert and Swedish Weekends, a fun singing workshop plus talks and master classes open to all. Concerts range from classical through to contemporary and feature a plethora of great performers, including Charlotte Bray as Composer-in-Residence, the brilliant Aurora Orchestra, the Barbirolli Quartet and an amazing array of major prize-winning young artists.
