Nature's Songbook - T57673291The Oxford Lieder Festival (8 - 23 October 2021) will celebrate its 20th anniversary this autumn with a thrilling fortnight of exploration, discovery and inspiration. For this festive immersion in the magical art of song, an astonishing array of more than 200 singers, instrumentalists and speakers will appear in 108 events, encompassing the great song cycles of Schubert and Schumann, freshly minted new works, the riches of fin-de-siècle Paris, the epic landscapes of Scandinavia and the vibrant sphere of American song. The 20th Oxford Lieder Festival builds on previous successes with Nature's Songbook, a fortnight of world-class music and poetry with the theme of nature as the starting point. At a time when nature has played an increasingly important part in many people's lives, we are reminded of how many poets and composers have been steeped in and inspired by nature and used it as a metaphor for every aspect of life. This vast range of music and poetry will gently steer the Festival programme, including an exciting collaboration with Oxford Botanic Garden to mark their 400th anniversary.Performer Sarah Connolly (Dame).
