At our 2020 digital Festival, in the midst of the pandemic, we introduced an Emerging Artist slot before every evening recital: a high-profile, paid engagement for exceptional artists at the outset of their careers, who begin each concert with a 15-minute performance of repertoire of their choice. This proved immensely popular, both offering much-needed work to the artists themselves and bringing great pleasure to our audience, who enjoyed regular star-spotting! With such a positive response, and in keeping with Oxford Lieder's long-standing commitment to supporting the next generation of musicians, the Emerging Artist slot is now an ongoing feature of the Festival with performances before almost every evening concert this year. The first week performances are all given by the winners of our Young Artist Programme.
