Masterclass Schedule 2025

Welcome from Marios Papadopoulos
Artistic Director

Amidst the atmospheric setting of a historic city, the 2025 Oxford Piano Festival once again promises a diverse and in-depth exploration of the piano with a dazzling line-up of performers. This year’s repertoire includes works by composers ranging from Chaminade to Stravinsky, from Liszt to Robert B. Sherman, showcasing the true versatility of the instrument.

In 2025, we welcome back many distinguished names to the festival with Sir Stephen Hough, Víkingur Ólafsson and Nikolai Lugansky all returning to give recitals. We are delighted to welcome Sophie Pacini, Andrey Gugnin, Akiko Ebi and Isata Kanneh-Mason who will be making their Oxford Piano Festival debuts.

As well as experiencing these wonderful performers in recital, our masterclass programme offers young pianists the opportunity to learn from the wisdom of greats of the piano world and audiences the chance to hear up-and-coming pianists in our Participants’ Recital. This year’s professors include Kathryn Stott, Stanislav Ioudenitch, Stephen Kovacevich, Arie Vardi, Ashley Wass and Rustem Hayroudinoff. A first for the Oxford Piano Festival, we are thrilled to include a workshop with Lydia Connolly for our participants where she will discuss vital questions young musicians may face on entering a career in classical music.

Join us this summer as we return once again to explore the art of piano playing in all its guises.
