Liebeslieder Walzer

17 October 2024, 8:00pm - 9:30pm

Today's events are all presented in association with BBC Radio 3, in celebration of 25 years of its New Generation Artists scheme.

This concert reflects the success of former New Generation Artists, as well as showcasing current members Santiago Sánchez, James Atkinson and Michael Pandya. Oxford Song’s Artistic Director Sholto Kynoch joins the party in a programme that takes a whirlwind tour of dance-inspired songs by composers from Robert and Clara Schumann to Witold Lutosławski, before concluding with Brahms’s exuberant Liebeslieder Walzer.

At the start of this evening's concert, and almost all evenings in the first week of the Festival, one of our eight exceptional Young Artist Programme duos will give a 15-minute showcase performance.
