Singing England (Oxford Chamber Music Festival – Bodleian Lectures)

Saturday, September 28, 2024 at 3:00 pm - 3:45 pm

A talk by Steve Roud, author of the celebrated Folk Song in England and the New Penguin Book of English Folksongs. Steve will give a concise history of English traditional folk song – from a time when singing out loud was normal everyday behaviour.

Every year the Oxford Chamber Music Festival brings together some of the most exciting classical musicians in Europe to live and play together for a week. Creative sparks fly as the musicians change musical partners and master the widest variety of sound-worlds.

This year’s festival celebrates the infinite variety of music from the British Isles, across four centuries and four nations: from Celtic folk influences to English pastoral; from Renaissance fantasy to Radiohead; from the internationally-celebrated Vaughan Williams, Elgar and Britten to hidden treasures and exciting finds by composers you may not even have heard of – yet!
