SmorgasChord Festival 2022
One year after presenting our inaugural festival, we bring you three days packed with music, poetry and art!
We are so excited to welcome our featured artists to Oxford, among them tenor Mark Padmore, pianist Andrew West, vocalist Kirit Singh, jorī player Jasdeep Singh, Echéa Quartet, composer Donghoon Shin, pianist George Xiaoyuan Fu, and cellist Tim Posner.
Especially exciting is the first ever public showing of eight paintings by the artist Eva Frankfurther. The paintings will form the backbone of Sunday's concerts and it is a huge honour to be able to show them for the first time.
As usual, new music is essential to what we do. This year, we perform music by countless living composers from home and abroad, including Sir Harrison Birtwistle, Donghoon Shin and György Kurtág. Particularly intriguing will be the world premiere of a new piece for solo cello by Sebastian Black, commissioned for the festival for performance by Tim Posner.
The weather will be delightful, the evenings long, the wine insightful, the coffee strong: we look forward to seeing you there!
Can't resist? For only £50* you can go to everything.
*And £18 for students!
