Oxford International Song Festival was founded in 2002 to celebrate and rejuvenate classical song. The main focus of our activity is the Oxford International Song Festival, which takes place each October. The Festival brings many of the world’s leading singers and pianists to Oxford, as well as showcasing exciting emerging artists and engaging people of all ages and backgrounds in high-quality creative activity. In 2015, the Festival won a prestigious Royal Philharmonic Society Award for Chamber Music and Song, praised for our ‘breadth, depth and audacity of programming.’
