25 Years of Oxford Song

15 October 2026, 3:00pm - 4:00pm

Sholto Kynoch and a group of friends founded the Festival 25 years ago. Over this quarter century, it has evolved into one of the world’s major celebrations of song – but of course it’s not always been a smooth journey… In this landmark year, Sholto – who has stayed at the helm ever since – reflects on the origins and development of the Festival, its highs and lows, challenges and successes, with plenty of behind-the-scenes stories to be enjoyed alongside a delicious cream tea in Trinity College’s beautiful Dining Hall.
