The Oxford Lieder Festival, the UK’s biggest celebration of song now in its ninth season, brings the finest international talent to the beautiful and historic city of Oxford, also showcasing outstanding younger artists. Concerts take place every evening at 8pm in the Holywell Music Room, Europe’s oldest concert hall. There are also lunch-time, rushhour and late-night concerts, as well as a host of talks, master classes, workshops and other events around the city centre. Among this year’s artists is Austrian Wolfgang Holzmair.

The 2010 programme celebrates Schumann in his bicentenary year, but as always includes much of the most important Lied repertoire, ranging from England to France, Spain, America, Russia, Italy and Scandinavia, stretching from the eighteenth century to the present day (incl. two world premieres). A wonderful chance to be immersed in song!
