Last year a new group formed at our Festival, a meeting of minds and cultures between English singer, dancer and actress Emma Bonnici, Swiss clarinettist Reto Bieri, Romanian violist Sascha Bota and Swedish double bassist Jordi Carrasco Hjelm. Their sounds tell of the beauty of nature, the secrets of the moon and mountains, rain, love, the madness of people and the prophecies of birds. This evening they will take you on a musical journey through fantastically diverse and colourful landscapes filled with folk song, free improvisation, and chamber music from Bach to Kancheli. Expect magic!

Artists: Reto Bieri, Emma Bonnici, Sascha Bota, Jordi Carrasco Hjelm

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 players exchange musical partners and tackle the widest variety of sound-worlds.

“a musical miracle” - Daily Telegraph; “world-class by any standards” Time Out

With this year’s special 25th anniversary festival we hope to create a musical Eden in an increasingly troubled world. We celebrate in sound the glories of nature's garden; explore the music of innocence and of human desire; and offer works which suggest the drama of the Fall, and the journey back to a state of spiritual grace.
