SUMMARY:Sing with Summertown Choral Society
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we begin rehearsals for our next concert. Accompanied by Instruments of Time and Truth we’ll be performing Mozart’s Requiem and Solemn Vespers. \nSinging improves our sense of happiness and wellbeing and brings physical benefits too such as improving our breathing and posture. So why not join Summertown Choral Society which has been welcoming choral singers of all ages and voice parts and whether experienced\, rusty or complete novices since its foundation in 1961? \nRehearsals are at St Michael and All Angels Church in Summertown on Thursday evenings from 8 to 9.30. Rehearsals for our Winter Concert\, when we will be performing Mozart’s Requiem and Solemn Vespers accompanied by Instruments of Time and Truth\, start on 17 September. One of the most celebrated works in the choral repertoire\, Mozart’s Requiem is a musical experience of enduring grandeur and spiritual depth. It combines sublime choral writing\, brilliant orchestration\, and deep emotional resonance and is a joy to sing. \nThere’s no audition just come along to a rehearsal and sing with us and then decide if you’d like to join.

SUMMARY:When the Blackbird Sings
DESCRIPTION:Please note this event begins in Blackbird Leys and mostly takes place on a bus through to the centre of Oxford with stops along the way\, ending at the Schwarzman Centre. There will be a shuttle bus leaving 15 minutes after the show finishes going back to Blackbird Leys. The starting venue will be announced soon and communicated to all bookers. \nAn immersive\, eye-opening\, heart-stirring journey through time.\nDirected by Erica Whyman and written by Natty Mark Samuels\, Helen Eastman\, and Afsaneh Gray. \nThis is the story of Paulette\, who was born in Jamaica\, crossed an ocean to expand her horizons and now\, in 1966\, she is determined to change the world. She hopes you will come along for the ride. \nJoin us in Blackbird Leys for a warm welcome and the start of a glorious odyssey through the city of Oxford. You will meet remarkable pioneers\, passionate changemakers\, a patron saint and fellow humans simply trying to survive. You will be invited to hop aboard a bus* to travel back to the 8th Century and forward to the 21st on a quest to find ancestors on whose shoulders Paulette can stand. We will end our journey at the new Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities\, with truth in our mouths and hope in our hearts. \n*Some walking or wheelchair travel is required\, on flat but sometimes uneven surfaces. Please ask us for more information – we are keen to make this experience as accessible as we possibly can within the constraints of some of the oldest parts of the city.   \nProduction originated as part of The Leys Festival 2026.

SUMMARY:Phase | Pattern | Pulse - The Sextets
DESCRIPTION:Presented in full 360° immersive audio\, these three sextets – Sextet\, Double Sextet and Six Marimbas – distill Steve Reich’s musical language into its purest form: interlocking rhythmic figures\, subtle shifts\, and harmonies which seem to vibrate in the air. In this innovative format the piece becomes a kinetic experience\, moving through space as much as through time. \nDeveloped by Loss﹥﹤Gain in collaboration with the Colin Currie Group\, this spatial reimagining places you at the heart of the music. Multiple instrumental layers pulse and overlap\, revealing the hypnotic beauty and physical energy that define Reich’s work.

SUMMARY:An unmissable traditional JUMBLE SALE
DESCRIPTION:Are Jumble Sales still a thing?\nThey used to be the best way to buy bargains before charity shops popped up on the high street. And they are still really popular but you might not have spotted them before.\n\nSo now you can experience a traditional Jumble Sale in Brightwell cum Sotwell! Rummage through clothes\, bags\, shoes\, and accessories and see if you can spot any vintage\, retro or latest fashion labels. The best bit will be searching through the famous bric-a-brac – a real treasure trove waiting just for you – books\, jewellery\, toys\, homeware and plenty of curious collectable items.\n\nEntrance is free with considerate street parking in the village or take the 33/33A bus and saunter through the village lanes. What3words ///belonging.blissful.globe.\n\nWhy not have lunch at the Red Lion before you shop. Kids can also enjoy the recreation ground play park as well as the stream for wet adventures!
