Directed by Oxford Philomusicas Musical Director, Marios Papadopoulos, the festival will present all 21 piano concertos in seven concerts, some of which will feature newly commissioned cadenzas by students from Oxford Universitys Faculty of Music. Melvyn Tan, Mayumi Fujikawa and Michael Roll will play the 18 piano sonatas and the 17 sonatas for violin and piano respectively. There will also be a performance of The Magic Flute on 9 March.
