Launching an exciting new music festival -- the Oxford Jazz Festival!

6 April 2009

The Oxford Jazz Festival presents an action-packed four days of jazz from 9—12 April 2009, with acclaimed jazz artists performing in some of Oxford’s finest and most historic venues, including the Oxford Union Debating Chamber, St. Hugh's College, the Jacqueline du Pré Music Building, the North Wall Arts Centre, and Saint Michael at the North Gate, the oldest building in Oxford.

Jazz-lovers and fans of all music genres will enjoy a star-studded lineup from all over the UK that already includes Ian Shaw, Gwyneth Herbert, Julian Siegel and Sophie Garner. To promote and celebrate the future of jazz, we are also holding a “JazzFactor” competition for youth jazz ensembles from schools and clubs from around Oxfordshire.

Ambience is everything at a jazz festival and it is hard to imagine a more intoxicating location than the beautiful and historic city of Oxford. With our vibrant and fast-growing jazz scene in Oxfordshire, the festival promises to be a huge success - for hotels, restaurants, retailers, the people of Oxford, and our sponsors. We look forward to building the Oxford Jazz Festival into an annual event to match the very best jazz festivals worldwide.
