Event information

Local residents Giles Masters (Magdalen College) and Felicity Newby-Smith (Music at Oxford) present Let’s Build a Town! – an exciting music project taking place St Francis CofE Primary School (Horspath Road) between January and March 2025.
Giles, a music historian, will explain how the project has been inspired by the parallels between the 1930s and 2020s as periods of great transformation in our city. Then, musician Tim Keasley will lead us in learning songs from the project, including one (hot off the press!) co-written by local children in recent weeks.
During the Q&A, there’ll be a chance to learn more about the project’s historical background and how the team are working with young people to develop their skills, confidence and sense of belonging through music and performance.
