(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home/customer/www/devspace.online/public_html/stannes/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6260St Anne’s values all types of music making, encouraging a ‘music for all’ ethos supported by pioneering and high standard performing opportunities. St Anne’s doesn’t have a chapel but has instead grown a successful recital and education programme with an emphasis on instrumental music.
A notable innovation is the St Anne’s Camerata, a 15-player string orchestra. It works regularly work with professional ensembles (e.g. Kaleidoscope Collective, Castalian String Quartet, Maxwell Quartet), and present educational programmes in partnership with the Faculty of Music, the Oxford Cultural Programme, the Oxford Conducting Institute, and BIM. In many ways the Camerata is modelled on the more traditional chapel choirs – a side-by-side initiative, comprised of professional musicians, student scholars, and auditioned exhibitioners from Oxfordshire schools.
Outreach is central in the Camerata’s endeavours, and the college recital series – Beyond the Dots – presents a varied programme of events each term. Through partnerships with the Oxfordshire County Music Service, and the Burford Institute of Music, students from primary and secondary schools attend recitals and supplementary workshops (the Beyond the Dots series featured in OMEP being awarded the Paritor Special Achievement Award for New Music in 2015).
The St Anne’s College Music Society, in addition to presenting recitals, co-ordinate student led ensembles, ranging from orchestras, choirs, chamber music, pop and rock, to more nuanced groups that come and go with the mood of the student body (e.g. a boomwhacker ensemble!).
Central to all St Anne’s musical activities is inclusion. Our Steinway pianos are accessible to all college members. The practice rooms in 50 Woodstock, the Danson Room, and the Bar, are open access to all, and the grand pianos in the MOLT and Annie Barnes Room are available by prior arrangement.
Whatever your music interests or experiences, there will be something for you.
In addition, St Anne’s has music bursaries available for instrumentalists and singers, as well as hosting an annual composition competition.
Facilities include four practice rooms with upright pianos, and an ensemble room with a grand piano and a drum kit. There are lots of opportunities to perform throughout the year: from performance arts and open mic nights in the bar, to concerts taking place in the MOLT (Mary Ogilvie Lecture Theatre).
