Young Artist Auditions (Session 2)

Over two days of audition recitals, eighteen exceptional emerging professional duos from around the UK will seek to become Oxford Song Young Artists. The standard is tremendously high, and this is a chance to hear the stars of the future, with a rich variety of repertoire and interpretations. Each audition session lasts for an hour and includes two 25-minute duo performances. Dip in for one or two, or immerse yourself in them all!

Oxford Song Young Artist Programme
The Oxford Song Young Artist Programme offers an 18-month programme of training and performance opportunities for eight exceptional early-career duos. At the end of the Spring Song weekend, eight duos will be offered fully funded places on our residential Mastercourse, an Emerging Artist performance, and regular masterclass and workshop sessions through the year, culminating in a Showcase Recital for each duo at the 2027 Oxford International Song Festival.
 

Our Young Artist Programme is generously supported by Jerwood Foundation and other charitable trusts and foundations.
