We're looking forward to returning to @OxfordSong for a 4th year this Autumn! 🍂

This year’s walk opens the doors to @WorcCollegeOx's beautiful gardens, with Flora Curzon (violin) Alex Mills (composer) Phil Muil (tai chi) & Simon Bagnall (Head Gardener).

🌳 "The quality of the singing, instrumental playing and poetry reading was breath-taking and made all the more memorable by the wonderful colour contrasts of the gardens...It was a privilege to participate as well as a totally new experience for me. Thank you all."

[SongPath @SongPath]

Thanks Sasha Knezevic for these lovely photos of our latest @SongPath with @OxfordSong! They capture some magical moments we had in beautiful autumnal @WorcCollegeOx gardens with Flora Curzon (violin), Phil Muil (qigong), Alex Mills (composer) & Simon Bagnall (head gardener).

🌳 "Wow - what an uplifting event! I really enjoyed the beautiful singing and the violin part in the fields. The programme was so well thought out. Probably the highlight for me was the wassailing in the orchard. I felt really alive and uplifted, and so lucky to be there."

[Oxford Song (formerly Oxford Lieder) @OxfordSong]

We’re 'Escaping the City' for Day 3 - wandering the gardens of Worcester College during a day that reflects on the importance of the natural world. Lute songs, the return of an incredible duo, and the inimitable Sarah Connolly make for an irresistible day. https://t.co/OEtsMzpaqG

"O heav'ns, what content is mine
To see these trees, which have appeared,
From the nativity of time"
🌳 Purcell 'O Solitude'

Here's one of the veteran trees in @WorcCollegeOx gardens, beautiful & thick-trunked, where you'll hear this sung at our SongPath this Sunday 13 October

[SongPath @SongPath]

We'll be walking, talking & music-making in nature, including:
🌊 Violin melodies by the lake
🌳 Tai chi & music under the trees
🍎 Apple Wassails with apple juice from the orchard trees

@OxfordSong have just released a few extra tickets - they are the very last we can squeeze!
