WHAT DISTINGUISHES THIS FESTIVAL
Set in an historic city, and prestigious seat of learning, the Oxford Piano Festival combines a world-class concert series with acclaimed pianists and a program of masterclasses for a dozen talented young participants drawn from across the globe, observed by a large contingent of piano enthusiasts.
FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS
Marking the 20th anniversary of the Oxford Piano Festival, we welcome back the Patron and the President of the Festival, Alfred Brendel KBE and Sir András Schiff respectively. Brendel will lecture on playing Mozart, and Schiff will conclude the Festival with the second part of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier.
Other highlights include Piotr Anderszewski's Diabelli Variations at St John the Evangelist Church, Chopin's first piano concerto with Seong-Jin Cho and the Oxford Philharmonic, and Anne Queffélec making her Festival debut in Merton College Chapel with baroque transcriptions and classical masterworks. A welcome addition to the program is a lieder recital from tenor Nicky Spence and world-renowned accompanist Julius Drake. We are also delighted to welcome back last year's debutant Richard Goode, and Menahem Pressler, the Festival's most frequent visiting recitalist.
