The Lieder Festival is the focal point of Oxford Lieder’s year, presenting more than 35 concerts and dozens of other events celebrating the unique art form of song. It is well established as one of the world’s leading song festivals and the biggest in the UK, attracting many of the world’s greatest artists.

The brochure also features illustrations exploring the festival's theme of music and language across borders.
