- Oxford Lieder Festival
-
The Oxford Lieder Festival, founded in 2001 by Sholto Kynoch, is the United Kingdom's largest art song festival. Oxford Lieder is now a registered charity and in addition to the annual festival which is usually in October, there are regular Song Evenings throughout the year, and a growing programme of educational events. While most events are held in a core set of venues, there has been a recent show of concerts outside of central Oxford, England.

Oxford Lieder also offers an annual scholarship of up to £1,000 for postgraduate studies in voice or accompaniment at any recognised music college, is part of the Oxford Music Network, and works with local schools during the annual festival.[1]
In 2010, it made its first recording with Stone Records under the Oxford Lieder Live banner. The disc, released in 2011, was the first in a series that will comprise the first complete recordings of the songs of Hugo Wolf.[2]
