They effortlessly transition from smooth-as-butter ballads to rip-roaring rhythm & blues\, with a nod to the raw\, foot-stomping roots of rock ‘n’roll. \n\n\n\nThey’ve played for the Queen\, packed out the Royal Albert Hall\, and made history as the first band to get to the Britain’s Got Talent finals. With 250 gigs a year\, they’ve got a knack for turning any crowd into a dancing\, cheering frenzy. \n\n\n\nYou’ve probably caught their rendition of the Morecambe and Wise classic Bring Me Sunshine – a banger with nearly 4 million YouTube views that’s so upbeat a U.S. doctor prescribed it to chase away the blues. \n\n\n\nIt’s been all over Strictly Come Dancing\, Netflix\, an American cop show and recently comedian Miranda Hart even declared it one of her favourite songs and stated on BBC Radio 3\, “The Jive Aces will get me up off the floor and make me lose any self-consciousness and dance!” \n\n\n\nTheir latest album\, Keeping The Show On The Road\, is stuffed with crowd favourites that hit No.1 on Mike Read’s Heritage Chart and got spins on BBC and Boom Radio.

She’s wowed crowds at Ronnie Scott’s and lit up Eamonn Holmes’ 60th birthday bash. \n\n\n\nFresh off her acclaimed albums Bewitched and Too Darn Hot\, with originals co-written with Amy Winehouse’s guitarist\, Noelleâ’s smooth style channels Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan but with a spark that’s all her own. \n\n\n\nThese guys and gals are the real deal. They’ve shared stages with legends like Van Morrison\, John Travolta\, and Priscilla Presley\, Jamie Cullum\, Toto and Status Quo\, and nabbed awards like the City of Derry International Music Award and the Variety Club of Great Britain Award for their music and charity work. \n\n\n\nTheir music videos?

works are complemented by settings of words by two poems from Saint John Henry Newman: Sir James MacMillan’s Nothing in Vain\, and the world premiere of Kerensa Briggs’ Lead\, Kindly Light\, specially

Band in Concert DESCRIPTION:Gigspanner Big Band in Concert\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Gigspanner Big Band in Concert\n\n\n\nThe Gigspanner Big Band are a unique force in British folk music… \n\n\n\nTheir high-energy\, virtuosic performances appeal equally to traditionalists and to those looking for something more experimental\, and they have garnered praise from publications as varied as fRoots\, The Telegraph and The Wire\, where they were described as ‘melodically folk-rooted yet open and innovative beyond the constraints of genre’. \n\n\n\nBeginning life as a trio – with legendary Steeleye Span fiddle player Peter Knight being joined by percussionist Sacha Trochet and guitarist Roger Flack – the line-up has been expanded to form the Gigspanner Big Band\, with acclaimed multi-instrumental duo Edgelarks (Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin – BBC Folk Awards ‘Best Duo’) and Bellowhead co-founder and melodeon player extraordinaire\, John Spiers\, joining the fray. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n Gigspanner Big Band in Concert\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhile Peter Knight\, as part of Steeleye Span’s classic 1970s line-up\, helped invent a brand of folk rock that is still influential today\, John Spiers\, has had an equally profound impact on the landscape of traditional music over the last two decades. \n\n\n\n2025 was a highlight year for the Band\, marked by the release of their album Turnstone\, which was nominated for the inaugural Folk Album of the Year 2025 Awards\, and featured in several ‘Album of the Year’ listings\, including esteemed music journal SONGLINES. \n\n\n\nCharacterised by riotous inventiveness\, technically gifted individual playing and subtle collaborative interaction\, this coming together of several of the biggest names on the folk-roots scene\, combines a deep knowledge of roots traditions with a ceaselessly boundary pushing approach. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n Gigspanner Big Band\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReviews\n\n\n\n\n“Their collective elan has a forceful presence unmatched in

Each year\, the Festival welcomes piano players and pedagogues\, experts and enthusiasts\, to some of Oxford’s most historic venues\, such as Sir Christopher Wren’s Sheldonian Theatre\, the Holywell Music Room\, and Christ Church Cathedral. \n\n\n\nThe Oxford Piano Festival takes place in the last week of July on the tranquil and scenic campus of St Hilda’s College\, Oxford\, home of the Jacqueline du Pré Music Building\, and located just a short walk from the city centre. \n\n\n\nThe Oxford Piano Festival’s objective is simple: to inspire\, support and encourage music-making at the piano of the highest quality. Welcoming world-renowned soloists and teachers each year\, the Festival provides gifted young players with a rare opportunity to work alongside and learn from some of the world’s finest pianists and teachers\, to perform and learn new repertoire\, as part of a dedicated community of artists which encourages exchange over competition. \n\n\n\nThe concept of the pianist as musician lies at the heart of the Festival. The various roles of the pianist – as virtuoso\, chamber musician\, accompanist\, conductor\, academic and teacher – are all examined. As part of this holistic approach\, the various international schools of piano playing are considered. \n\n\n\nWith Alfred Brendel as the Festival’s Patron\, Sir András Schiff as President\, and the Festival’s founder Marios Papadopoulos a renowned pianist himself\, the bar is set very high in terms of quality and artistic integrity. \n\n\n\nPrevious participants at the Festival have gone on to achieve great success. Notable alumni include Alim Beisembayev (winner of the Leeds International Piano Competition 2021)\, Martin James Bartlett\, Mark Viner\, Alexander Ullman\, Mishka Rushdie-Momen and Denis Kozhukhin. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHighlights from past events\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBook tickets via the festival website or call Oxford Philharmonic‘s Box Office on 01865 980980 (Monday to Friday from 9.00am to 5.00pm). \n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nPrices:See individual events for prices. \n\n\n\nRunning time:See individual events for running times. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenues URL:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/event/oxford-piano-festival/ LOCATION:Merton College Chapel\, Merton Street\, Oxford\, OX1 4JD\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Concerts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/oxford-piano-festival-02-1920x1080-1.webp GEO:51.7510786;-1.2527687 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Merton College Chapel Merton Street Oxford OX1 4JD United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Merton Street:geo:-1.2527687,51.7510786 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260725T143000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260725T175000 DTSTAMP:20260619T163600 CREATED:20260615T164724Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260615T165452Z UID:10012939-1784989800-1785001800@theoxfordmagazine.com SUMMARY:Alon Goldstein Masterclass DESCRIPTION:Alon Goldstein Masterclass \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Alon Goldstein Masterclass \n\n\n\nThe remarkably talented participants of the Oxford Piano Festival receive masterclasses from some of the world’s leading authorities on piano. \n\n\n\nThe repertoire list for the masterclasses will be available to view from 17 July 2026 on the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\n£12.50 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nSaturday 25 July 2026 at 2.30pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n3 hours 20 minutes URL:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/event/alon-goldstein-masterclass/ LOCATION:JdP Music Building\, St Hilda's College\, Cowley Place\, Oxford\, OX4 1DY CATEGORIES:Concerts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://theoxfordmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/Alon-Goldstein-Masterclass.webp GEO:51.748581;-1.245545 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=JdP Music Building St Hilda's College Cowley Place Oxford OX4 1DY;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=St Hilda's College\, Cowley Place:geo:-1.245545,51.748581 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260725T193000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260725T213000 DTSTAMP:20260619T163600 CREATED:20260613T003329Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260613T003333Z UID:10012938-1785007800-1785015000@theoxfordmagazine.com SUMMARY:Steven Osborne DESCRIPTION:Steven Osborne\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Steven Osborne \n\n\n\nSchubert Sonata No. 21 in B flat major\, D. 960 \n\n\n\nBeethoven 33 Variations in C major on a Waltz by Diabelli\, Op. 120 \n\n\n\nSteven Osborne piano \n\n\n\nThe towering pianistic talent that is Steven Osborne opens the festival at Christ Church Cathedral with two standout masterpieces of the Viennese school. \n\n\n\nHe starts with Schubert’s last and greatest piano sonata – a work of introspection\, volatility but unbounded lyricism that had a profound influence on Beethoven. \n\n\n\nAnd Beethoven balances it here in the form of the greatest set of keyboard variations after Bach’s Goldbergs – the journey from the plain to the celestial that is Beethoven’s monumental Diabelli Variations. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nFrom £12.00 \n\n\n\nStudents from £5.00 \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nSaturday 25 July 2026 at 7.30pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n120 minutes \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Sheldonian Theatre\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nHome to ceremonial occasions and a raft of exciting events\, the magnificent and versatile Sheldonian Theatre is the focal point of the University of Oxford and is a unique space to experience live music. \n\n\n\nTo see an interactive map of the theatre\, click here. \n\n\n\nFind out more about the Sheldonian Theatre\, including facilities\, access and venue information.
