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.
