Welcome to the Oxford May Music Festival, which takes place in the historic centre of the city of Oxford. Based in one of the gems of 18th century architecture, the Holywell Music Room, with one of the best acoustics in the world, the festival brings together some of the finest musicians performing in the UK today and many leading lecturers in their fields.


The previous two festivals attracted almost 2000 people to the programme of concerts and lectures exploring literature, science and music. We believe that Oxford May Music complements and enhances the experience of May Day in Oxford and invite you to experience this unique Oxford occasion for yourselves in 2010.


Our Artistic Director, Jack Liebeck, has put together an exciting programme for next year's festival, which will take place between April 28th and May 3rd, 2010. Please keep visiting this website to see how next year’s festival is shaping up!


Please [contact us] with any questions or if you would like to add your email and postal address to our mailing list.


We look forward to meeting you at the 2010 festival!

Best wishes,


Jack Liebeck, Artistic Director


Brian Foster, Administrative Director
