To begin the second day of our Schubert Weekend, Katy Hamilton and two former Oxford Song Young Artists explore the love affairs Schubert may or may not have had. There is also a Cushion Concert for young children and their families at the Jacqueline du Pré Music Building. In the afternoon, star mezzo-soprano Helen Charlston sings Schubert’s cycle Die schöne Müllerin. The weekend concludes with soprano Sarah Maria Sun, appearing at the Festival for the first time with Jan Philip Schulze and renowned clarinettist Julian Bliss, performing Schubert’s ‘The Shepherd on the Rock’ as well as songs by Benjamin Scheuer, Rebecca Saunders and György Ligeti.
