The Oxford Music Festival - 2007The Oxford Music Festival takes place over two weekends between Saturday 28th January and Sunday 5th February 2006 with a final concert on Saturday 11th February. This event has been a fixture of the Oxford music scene for a good number of years and is well respected by the musical community. Entries must in at the Festival Office by Thursday 19th October 2006 (see below). OMF has had a organ section for the past couple of years which the ODOA has awarded a £30 prize - The Michael Popkin Award for the highest mark in the competitive classes. Many of the ODOA members enjoyed entering the non-competitive class as a spur to practice and to gain an objective assessment of their playing from the excellent adjudicator. This year, 2007, there will again be three organ classes in Section 10:
As last year, the Festival will be using the two-manual Hill & Son organ (1860) organ at All Saint's, Lime Walk, in Headington on Saturday 3rd February. More details will be posted as they become available. Members of the ODOA are encouraged to enter, to encourage their organ playing friends to enter or just come and listen in support and encouragement those that do enter - particularly the few younger players. As we all know there is nothing like playing well to an understanding and sympathetic audience.Entries must in at the Festival Office by Thursday 19th October 2006.
