Oxford
As a leading university and cathedral city, Oxford has a rich and well-documented musical tradition. The 18th century was a particularly active period, with the founding of the Holywell
Music Room, the visits of Handel and Haydn and an array of colourful personalities among local musicians. Susan
Wollenberg, University
Lecturer of Music at Oxford, presents a selection of music from the Oxford of this time.
