Keble College Early Music Festival was founded in 2014 by organ scholar James Hardie (2012). Taking place in Hilary term, the Festival runs for five days, and has featured a mixture of critically-acclaimed professional artists as well as student ensembles. Past performers have included Mahan Esfahani, Bojan Čičić, The Marian Consort, The Queens' Six, and Oxford Baroque, as well as performances by Keble College Chapel Choir, Sansara, The Bate Players, and The Henry Ley Singers.
The Festival is very fortunate to have award-winning harpsichordist Mahan Esfahani as its patron.
This year the festival will run between 19-23 February 2019, showcasing a week of world-class music making with a exciting line up of internationally-acclaimed artists. The week will culminate in a performance of Monteverdi's Vespers of 1610, conducted by Matthew Martin. Follow the Festival on Facebook and ​Twitter.
