Giving to the Oxford Philomusica

In less than ten years the Oxford Philomusica has become, in the words of the Oxford Times, “A musical resource for the city and beyond”. In October 2002 the Orchestra became the first-ever Orchestra in Residence at the University of Oxford, and its all-year round service to town and gown alike has attracted consistent critical praise and loyal and growing public support.

As a professional orchestra, education and community work are a central part of Oxford Philomusica’s mission.  As part of the University Residency, the Orchestra collaborates with the University of Oxford’s Faculty of Music in educational programmes for the benefit of the student community, and its dedicated team of specialists maintains an ongoing programme of work in schools, hospitals and community centres.
