Apologies for the delay but the 2025 Syllabus is now available at https://www.oxfordmusicfestival.org/Syllabus.html .
We will begin distributing the printed version of the syllabus as soon as we receive it from the printers.
The online entry system will be open very soon, keep checking our web site.
Our main venue this year will shift from the south site at Cherwell School to the north site in the school’s Music Block. The performance spaces there will better meet our needs than those at the south site. The festival concert will be held at the Ogston Music School. All other venues remain unchanged.
Please read this syllabus carefully as there have been extensive changes including some exciting new classes. Our overall goal has been to make the structure more consistent while simultaneously making it easier for potential entrants to select the class that’s right for them, whether competitive or non-competitive.

The MTB courses are indeed excellent - I look forward to their Grade 6-8 theory courses being launched later this year :)

Piano Day is celebrated annually on the 88th day of the year, commemorating the 88 keys of a standard piano. The event serves as a global celebration of the piano and everything around it: performers, composers, piano builders, tuners, movers and most important, the listener.
