Auditions for the Oxford Lieder Young Artist Platform

Six exceptional young duos give audition recitals, open to the public and adjudicated by Susan Gritton and Eugene Asti. We received an unprecedented number of high calibre applications this year and have selected six outstanding duos to give a 40-minute recital.

Each duo is assessed for their musicianship, communication and programming. Two duos are then selected to be Oxford Lieder's 'ambassadors for song' and give a series of concerts in music clubs, societies and festivals around the country, supported by Oxford Lieder, as well as a recital at the Lieder Festival in October. Expect an exceptionally high standard of performance, a wide range of repertoire and a thrilling day of music making.
