St Giles’ Academy of Music

One of the key aims this year for Project 900 (our fund- raising campaign to mark St. Giles’ 900th anniversary in 2020) is to raise funds for St. Giles’ Academy of Music. The Academy trains young choristers (boys and girls) in singing, piano and organ lessons, music theory and performance technique. Our young musicians are encouraged to perform as soloists and in ensembles, and have achieved great success in music exams and competitive music festivals.

Above all, our scholars learn to value being part of a vibrant community, contributing to the musical life of the city of Oxford, and acting as young musical ambassadors during their concert tours (both in the UK and abroad). The valuable musical education they experience, and happy social life they enjoy together is wonderfully supported by choir parents, to whom we are most grateful for the time and help they generously give accompanying scholars on tour and at concerts, including this spring/summer series. We hope you will support the St. Giles’ Academy of Music by joining us for this exciting concert series.
