2007 Schools Project
Over the two weeks leading up to the Festival, Oxford Lieder will be working in St Gregory the Great School, Oxford, and with two local primary schools, involving a large number of children in composition and singing projects. The children will be writing songs both for themselves and for others to perform, and this concert will be the culmination of this work. Last year, the imagination and quality of the children's work stunned and deeply moved the audience that attended, so please come, show your support and be amazed at the standards achieved by these young musicians.
"Our pupils benefited so much from having the guidance of such committed and talented adults, who drew out the best of our pupils. I, for one, will never forget the attentive faces and deep concentration of our pupils and this was down to inspired teaching."
Keith Ponsford, Headteacher of Bayards Hill Primary School, on the 2006 project.
