A stellar trio of artists, well known to Oxford Lieder audiences, present songs and duets by Robert and Clara Schumann. They include settings of the poets Friedrich Rückert (who was delighted by Schuamnn's songs to his texts) and Nikolaus Lenau, as well as the Danish author Hans Christian Andersen, best known of course for his fairy tales, but also a prolific and renowned poet.
Festal supper will be available from 6:30pm every evening (except Thursday 20th). Enjoy a delicious hot main meal and side dish between the afternoon and evening recitals for just £11. Our food partners this year are the Vaults & Garden Café, The Oxford University Club, and St Stephen’s House. Please book by midnight the day before by clicking here.
