Brahms Piano Trio in C major, Op. 87
Carmine Lauri violin
Peter Adams cello
Russell Hirshfield piano
Love courses through this programme of chamber music delicacies played by two principal string players from the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra, joined by the eminent American pianist Russell Hirshfield. When Shostakovich wrote his first piano trio, he was smitten; his longing for a fellow student peers out from behind the trio’s yearning melodies.
‘You won’t have heard such a beautiful trio from me,’ wrote Brahms to the publisher of his own C major trio, a work that could easily sweep you off your feet.
Reena Esmail wrote her piano trio Saans as a wedding gift for a close friend, while the sublime slowness of Schubert’s nocturne for piano trio could easily accompany a tryst. No less beauteous is Jennifer Higdon’s trio exploring whether colours and their shades can be reflected in music.

The Incredible Voyage of Alasdair Malloy
FUNomusica Family Concert
Sunday 19 January
Oxford Town Hall, 16:00
Alasdair Malloy presenter
Alasdair always loves travelling from Scotland to join his friends in the Oxford Philharmonic but this time things don’t go quite to plan and he ends up having the most Incredible Journey!
Instead of flying direct, he ends up having a riotous ride on boats, broomsticks, cars, carpets, roads, rails, spaceships, shoes, hooves and a yellow submarine!
Fortunately, he has help from classical composers including Rossini, Saint-Saëns and Grieg, and the music from films such as Aladdin, Harry Potter, Moana and Star Wars, but will he get here on time?
Don’t miss this exciting adventure in music and motion!

There is no more dramatic setting of the Requiem Mass in the repertory than Giuseppe Verdi’s, written to commemorate friends but giving full voice to the composer’s theatrical instincts and vivid response to religious imagery and poetry. World-class soloists and the massed voices of the Crouch End Festival Chorus gather at the Sheldonian Theatre for this performance of Verdi’s soul-stirring work of awe and redemption, often referred to as ‘an opera in disguise’, with the full force of the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra and its Music Director, Marios Papadopoulos.

Clarke’s Morpheus for viola and piano then weaves a dreamlike landscape, rich in emotion. Vaughan Williams’s Phantasy Quintet follows, capturing an English pastoral spirit with warmth and intimacy. Closing the afternoon is Dvořák’s American Quartet, a lively homage to folk traditions with a joyful, lyrical energy.

ReturnsOnly
The great Martha Argerich returns to the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra as a concerto soloist for Beethoven's Second Piano Concerto, surrounded in this programme by orchestral music of brilliance and drama. Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s Ballade promises a wild ride: its energy and urgency will make any audience sit up and listen. To close, Marios Papadopoulos conducts Tchaikovsky’s great symphonic tussle with fate. In his red-blooded Symphony No. 4, the composer, who always wore his heart on his sleeve, manages to mine the consolation of hope from the turmoil of tragedy and despair, creating a live music experience like no other.

Bach Cello Suite No. 3 in C major, BWV 1009
Bach Cello Suite No. 5 in C minor, BWV 1011
Peter Adams cello
It was Bach’s six suites for solo cello that alerted twentieth-century ears to the wonders of the composer’s work. This music of the most inward concentration and outward consolation has traversed cultures and genres, forming the subjects of books, films and even animations. Peter Adams, Solo Cello of the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra and the youngest ever professor in the history of London’s Royal Academy of Music, comes to the Holywell Music Room for this traversal of the oddnumbered suites, beginning with the well-known G major Prelude.

At the stunning new Herman Eule organ in Magdalen College’s chapel, the college’s Informator Choristarum presents a recital exploring the music of Johann Sebastian Bach and its legacy in the works of Mendelssohn. Surrounding the three stern Kyrie preludes from Bach’s Clavierübung, Mark Williams combines the composer’s magnificent A minor Prelude and Fugue and its flurry of pedal solos with the organ music by Mendelssohn that carried forward Bach’s tradition: the third of the Preludes and Fugues with which he set out his stall as an organ composer and the third of his imposing organ sonatas, based on the Lutheran chorale Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir.

Mats Lidström cello
Mats Lidström, Solo Cello of the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra and an internationally known pedagogue and virtuoso, picks up the mantle from his colleague Peter Adams at the Holywell Music Room, completing our traversal of Bach’s solo cello suites with the evennumbered suites. The bouncing Gigue of No. 2 contains the most extended two-part writing of the six, while No. 4 is noted for its pair of almost skeletal Bourrées. The fiendishly difficult sixth and final suite was written for an instrument of five strings and demands extensive hopping across strings as it urges itself forward from a propulsive Prelude.

Choir of The Queen's College, Oxford
The Boys of Radley College
Owen Rees conductor
On 11 April 1727, Bach’s day-to-day industry delivered what many consider to be his masterpiece: his ‘great passion’ after St Matthew’s Gospel. Bach didn’t generally write for posterity, but even he sensed this piece might outlive him, making special efforts to make his musical telling of Christ’s final days on earth sing with divinity and speak with humanity. The choir of The Queen’s College, Oxford and the boy choristers of Radley College join the Orchestra and handpicked soloists for this performance under Owen Rees of the composition able, in the words of Sir Nicholas Kenyon, ‘to reach beyond sectarianism and even beyond religious observance, to say something to the whole of humanity'.

Mendelssohn Piano Trio No. 2 in C minor, Op. 66*
Mendelssohn String Octet in E flat major, Op. 20
Soloists of Morningside Music Bridge, Boston*
Soloists of Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra
‘One of the miracles of nineteenth-century music’ is how the music critic Conrad Wilson described Mendelssohn’s Octet for Strings – the vivacious, brilliant and nigh-on perfect work of the 16-yearold composer who had no models to draw on. Soloists of the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra join distinguished alumni from the Morningside Music Bridge Festival for this performance of Mendelssohn’s joyous score, following the second of the composer’s piano trios, which finds the composer at his most impassioned and rhapsodic.
*Morningside Music Bridge brings together the finest emerging artists to perform on an international stage and measure themselves against the very best young performers globally.

Recent organ scholar at The Queen’s College, Oxford and one of the instrument’s fast-rising talents, Luke Mitchell wraps up our organ recital series with an all-Bach programme including the three Gloria settings from the composer’s Clavierübung III. Among the relative rarities on the menu is the unusually eloquent O Mensch Bewein' Dein' Sünde Gross from Bach’s Orgelbüchlein, in which the well-known passion chorale is elaborated with an ornamental melody to moving effect. To open his recital, Luke brings us one of the very greatest Preludes and Fugues for organ to have sprung from Bach’s pen, in the composer’s favoured melancholic key of B minor.

Sir András Schiff
Wednesday 5 March
Sheldonian Theatre, 19:30
Bach Die Kunst der Fuge, BWV 1080
Sir András Schiff piano
Sir András Schiff has made the music of Bach his own. In a career spanning five decades, the great Hungarian pianist has focused on the music of the composer whom he describes as a ‘great scientist who systematically set new challenges for himself, which he then solved at the highest level possible.’ One such challenge was The Art of Fugue – Bach’s big project to lift the fugal form to new heights just as it was falling from fashion. The result is a work of immense richness, imagination and possibility that Schiff, a great friend of Oxford Philharmonic, will perform at the Sheldonian Theatre.

Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 64
Mendelssohn Symphony No. 5 in D major, Op. 107, ‘Reformation’
Anthony Robb flute
Antje Weithaas violin
Marios Papadopoulos conductor
After its pious opening, Mendelssohn’s ‘Reformation’ Symphony explodes into a declaration of faith and equality – an image of the Lutheran Reformation as one of fortitude, industry, democratisation and joy, all of which permeate the composer’s best-kept symphonic secret. Before the embracing energy of Mendelssohn’s symphony comes the composer’s supremely elegant Violin Concerto in the sensitive hands of Antje Weithaas and music by Mendelssohn’s beloved Bach: the standout Orchestral Suite No. 2, with its modish flute solos.

Winner of the Concerto Prize at the 2024 BBC Music Magazine Awards, Bomsori Kim brings her virtuosic storytelling to two spellbinding violin works distilled from great operas: Waxman’s famous Carmen Fantasy and Wieniawski’s wickedly entertaining fantasy on themes from Gounod’s Faust. Complementing these performances, Marios Papadopoulos conducts Humperdinck’s glowing prelude to Hänsel and Gretel and Dvořák’s thrilling Symphony No. 8, a supreme marriage of immediacy and architectural brilliance.

Lucy Cox soprano

Gareth Brynmor John baritone
Sir John Rutter conductor
Oxford Philharmonic Choir
In the summer of 1782, just before marrying, Mozart began work on his Great but incomplete Mass in C minor. Having encountered the masterpieces of Bach and Handel, Mozart began to reappraise his values as a composer. The result was the dark and otherworldly music Mozart completed as the torso of his score—a setting of the Ordinary of the Mass more profound in substance and grand in scale than any he had written before. Sir John Rutter conducts Mozart's monumental Great Mass in C minor, the culmination of a programme that includes the composer’s playful symphony composed during a brief stay in Linz and the Regina coeli, which comprises some of the most sublime music Mozart wrote for the church.

Mahler Symphony No. 1 in D major, ‘Titan’
Behzod Abduraimov piano
Marios Papadopoulos conductor
Marcello Palazzo conductor*
Mahler’s symphonies are his spiritual autobiographies, laying out his experiences and suffering for all to hear. His strikingly confident Symphony No. 1 of 1889 is cast in two parts: first the optimism and energy of youth; then the crisis of rejection and death.
Yet Mahler’s symphony powers towards an exultant conclusion, overtly popular in style and imbued with a new confidence – the confidence of life itself. Marios Papadopoulos conducts Mahler’s Titan symphony here after the world premiere of Sisyphus by University of Oxford and OPO Composers' Workshop alumnus
Marcello Palazzo and another work from our Composer-in-Residence Alexey Shor: with unexpected twists in its traditional structure, Shor’s Piano Concerto No. 1 blends nostalgia and exhilaration, and features the remarkable soloist Behzod Abduraimov.

Another of our own musicians, Concertmaster Carmine Lauri, is the soloist in the most lyrical and operatic violin concerto by the great guru of virtuosity, Niccolò Paganini, a work that will fill the Sheldonian Theatre with rococo elegance.

The Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra Academy and Community
& Outreach Programmes
The Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra has been committed to education and community outreach since its founding in 1998, providing free, world-class opportunities to children and young people throughout Oxfordshire.
The Academy Programme
The Academy Programme offers life-changing opportunities to gifted young musicians up to age 26. The programme includes the Oxford Piano Festival, our Residency Programme at the University of Oxford, and opportunities through our partnership with Oxfordshire County Music Service. Participants have gone on to perform with every major orchestra in the UK, and have won prizes including the Leeds International Piano Competition and BBC Young Musician.
Community & Outreach Programme
The Orchestra works with people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds, helping to address inequalities throughout Oxfordshire. We visit primary and SEN(D) schools, offering music education projects to democratise engagement with and learning about music. In collaboration with Oxford City Council, the OPO hosts three interactive ‘FUNomusica’ concerts per year at Oxford Town Hall, designed for families with children aged under 8. During our visits to hospitals, patients attend immersive workshops where they sing and use ability-appropriate/adapted instruments to collaborate on musical pieces and enjoy performances by OPO musicians.
Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra
Since 1998, the Oxford Philharmonic has brought inspirational performances to Oxford and beyond. The Orchestra prides itself on creating unique musical experiences, bringing new and engaging interpretations to well-loved works in the classical repertoire. Its continual search for excellence is underpinned by the uncompromising standards of its Founder and Music Director Marios Papadopoulos, who with some of the UK and Europe’s finest instrumental musicians has shaped the Orchestra’s distinctive sound.
The Oxford Philharmonic works regularly with some of the world’s greatest classical artists, among them Maxim Vengerov, Anne-Sophie Mutter, Martha Argerich, Sir András Schiff, Evgeny Kissin and Sir Bryn Terfel. Violinist Maxim Vengerov became the Oxford Philharmonic’s first-ever Artist-in-Residence in 2013 for an unprecedented four seasons. Since then, Vengerov has performed with the Orchestra across the UK and recorded the violin concertos of Brahms and Sibelius, as well as leading an ensemble of OPO Principals in a recording of Mendelssohn’s Octet.
In addition to its annual concert season in Oxford, performances across the UK, family concerts and annual Piano Festival and Chamber Music Series, the Oxford Philharmonic is in growing demand internationally. It appeared at the Tivoli Festival in Copenhagen in June 2019 and, in June 2022, made its critically acclaimed US debut at Carnegie Hall.
In February 2023, the Orchestra celebrated its 25th anniversary with a gala concert at the Barbican, in which Maxim Vengerov played Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto. Other engagements during the Orchestra’s Silver Jubilee year included concerts in Dubai in February 2023 and a tour of Germany and Austria, where the Orchestra made its debut at Musikverein, Vienna and at Isarphilharmonie, Munich with soloist Martha Argerich. In an exciting 2023/24 season, the Orchestra returned to Dubai in February for six concerts at Dubai Opera. In May, the Orchestra undertook a major debut tour of Japan, performing nine concerts to capacity audiences in four cities, including Tokyo.
In December 2020, the Orchestra filmed a concert in a tribute to all those working on developing a vaccine for Covid-19 at the University of Oxford, including the world premiere of John Rutter’s Joseph’s Carol, commissioned for the occasion.
Since its founding, the Oxford Philharmonic has been firmly committed to outreach work, with projects taking music to areas of social and economic disadvantage, hospitals, Special Educational Needs schools, and partnerships with Oxford City Council and Oxfordshire County Council. In December 2021, the Orchestra’s former Sub-Principal Violin Jamie Hutchinson was awarded the prestigious Salomon Prize, a joint prize between the Royal Philharmonic Society and Association of British Orchestras, in recognition of the educational initiatives she spearheaded with the Orchestra during the pandemic.
In 2002, the Oxford Philharmonic was appointed Orchestra in Residence at the University of Oxford, the first relationship of its kind between a symphony orchestra and a higher education institution. For the last 22 years, the Oxford Philharmonic has offered tuition and performances opportunities to hundreds of University students.
The Oxford Philharmonic has appeared on several recordings including albums of cello concertos by Shostakovich and Solo Cello Mats Lidström on BIS Records, conducted by Vladimir Ashkenazy; A Merton Christmas with the Choir of Merton College; Haydn’s The Creation with the Choir of New College; the Handel/Mendelssohn Acis and Galatea with Christ Church Cathedral Choir; and works by Nimrod Borenstein for Chandos. The Enlightened Trumpet CD with soloist Paul Merkelo, was released on Sony Classical.
The Oxford Philharmonic recently signed a recording contract with the label Platoon and recorded a selection of Mozart’s symphonies in September 2023, now available on all streaming platforms.
The Orchestra and its Music Director were awarded the City of Oxford’s Certificate of Honour in 2013, in recognition of their contribution to education and performance in Oxford.
