As you look through our latest ‘musicaloffering’ (pun intended), you will quicklysee that J S Bach features heavily, startingwith the works for solo violin (AlinaIbragimova), and the Goldberg Variations(Mahan Esfahani). As our 2016-17 seasonbegan to take shape, we decided toembrace the fact that many of our artistsare world-renowned Bach specialists, andso in addition to Alina and Mahan, you willbe able to follow our Bach year throughperformances by Paul Lewis, whom we aredelighted to welcome back to MaO andwho will perform Bach’s Partita no. 1; thespirited Academy of Ancient Music,placing Bach in the context of his Italiancounterparts; and our friends in the OxfordBach Choir performing the monumentalMass in B minor with the London MozartPlayers. And don’t miss Merton CollegeChoir - together with Instruments of Timeand Truth - performing Singet dem Herrnand Christ lag in Todesbanden alongsidethat perennial favourite, Handel’s DixitDominus!

In addition to Bach, there will be morefrom the Italian baroque on offer from the vibrant players of La Serenissima,Gesualdo from the sublime voices of the Marian Consort, Mendelssohn’s violin concerto performed by ArabellaSteinbacher with the Philharmonia,Mozart by Rachel Podger and KristianBezuidenhout (violin and fortepiano), and Schumann, Schubert and Sibelius by the City of Birmingham SymphonyOrchestra, under the baton of theinspirational Nicholas Collon.

There is much more besides, and wehope that everyone will find concerts that they will wish to attend. We strivevery hard to bring superb artists andrepertoire to our audience; this is thereason for Music at Oxford’s veryexistence.

Please do join us on our musical journey!

WELCOME! ABOUT usMusic at Oxford is a concert series,so rather like a music festival, onlywith our concerts spread over manymonths, rather than concentrated inone or two weeks.

Our mission is to bring the verybest classical music to Oxford, in terms of both repertoire andinternationally renowned artists.

Beethoven Overture no. 3 op. 72b LeonoreMendelssohn Violin Concerto in E minor op. 64Brahms Symphony no. 2 in D op. 73

Music at Oxford welcomes back the world-classPhilharmonia Orchestra with three pillars of theGerman repertoire. Beethoven struggled tocompose the overture to his opera Fidelio, writingfour versions, of which no. 3 is considered thegreatest. Intense, dramatic and taut – it’s a fullsymphonic movement. Arabella Steinbacher willbring her ‘refined, instinctive playing’ (TheTelegraph) to Mendelssohn’s evergreen, muchloved violin concerto. Brahms’s Symphony no. 2,which he wrote swiftly over the summer of 1877while staying in Carinthia, will give a rousing,uplifting finale to the evening.

The VilliersQuartetIn their second year of the Radcliffe ChamberMusic Residency at the University of Oxford’sFaculty of Music, the Villiers Quartet presenttwo ambitious concerts as part of theircollaboration with Music at Oxford.

The first of our two concerts this seasonplaces the pure, clever structure of theFantasias of Purcell alongside a modern-dayequivalent – the Fantazia for String Quartetby Oxford composer Robert Saxton – a rich,emotive work whose quick-slow-quickpattern directly mimics Purcell’s own forms.

Then we go to the Nordic countries, forNielsen’s short but passionate piece composedfor the funeral of the famous Danish artist OlufHartmann, and Sibelius’s quartet, of which hesaid, ‘It turned out as something wonderful.The kind of thing that brings a smile to yourlips at the hour of death.’

The quartet’s second concert has a veryViennese flavour, ranging from Schubert’ssingle movement, said to be ‘...the onlymovement in Schubert’s instrumental work,prior to the “Unfinished Symphony”, whichprepares us for the greatness which burstsforth in that symphony’, through to Webern’searly and lushly scored Langsamer Satz(literally: ‘slow movement’). In addition,soprano Julia Sitkovetsky joins the players forSchoenberg’s other-wordly setting of StefanGeorge’s poetry in the Quartet no. 2.

Sean Shibe is definitely one to watch! The guitarist is much indemand at leading festivals, and brings an enticing array of musicto Music at Oxford from the 16th century through to several worksby 20th century British composers, who were inspired by themastery of the inimitable Julian Bream. Walton’s work was a fiftiethbirthday present to Malcolm Arnold; Britten’s work is a set ofvariations playing on the composer’s preoccupation with the nightand with dreams; Berkeley’s sonatina has become one of thecomposer’s most widely performed works since its premiere in 1958.

J S Bach composed his Mass in B minor at the end of his life, knittingtogether newly composed music with detailed reworkings of older piecesas a single great summing up of his work as a composer of sacred music.Today its superb craftsmanship and depth of emotion make it one of thesupreme masterpieces of the choral repertoire. The Oxford Bach Choir haslong had a close relationship with the Mass, ever since it gave the work itsfirst Oxford performance back in 1903. The Choir now looks afresh at thisgreat work under its new Principal Conductor David Crown accompaniedby the London Mozart Players.

Rachel Podger and Kristian Bezuidenhout are two of the topexponents of historically informed performance practice. The threesonatas by Mozart for violin and piano are the very embodiment ofclassical sonata form, while that of Beethoven – dedicated to TsarAlexander I – has all the elegance of the form yet simultaneouslypushes at the boundaries, and increases the intensity.

Nicholas Collon is without doubt one of the UK’s mostexciting younger conductors, with a stellar career, and Music at Oxford is thrilled by his choice of repertoire for thisconcert with the marvellous CBSO. Sibelius’s King Christian IISuite is a stirring work which runs the full gamut of emotions,while his searingly beautiful 7th Symphony – though not‘unfinished’ like the symphony of Schubert – is unusual forbeing contained in one just continuous movement. For sheer bravura, not much beats Schumann’s Konzertstück –essentially a concerto for all four horns of the orchestra!
