The Oxford University Orchestra, conducted by Rémy Ballot, plays a programme of works by Bruckner and Wagner at the Sheldonian Theatre.
The Oxford University Orchestra are playing at the Sheldonian Theatre on Thursday 12 November, with conductor Rémy Ballot leading them through a programme of Wagner and Bruckner. It's a pairing that puts two of the biggest names in the late-Romantic tradition on the same bill, and with the OUO on the strings, it's a proper orchestral night in the heart of the city.
Having Wagner and Bruckner together in one evening is a bit of a statement. They're both known for their scale — the long lines, the huge builds, and the kind of sound that fills a room — so it's a programme that leans into the orchestral side of things rather than playing it safe. If you're into that era of music, it's exactly the kind of pairing you'd want to hear live.

Rémy Ballot is the one on the podium for this one, and the OUO is the ensemble providing the sound. The Sheldonian is one of Oxford's most distinctive venues, and it hosts a wide range of concerts, talks and lectures throughout the year. It's worth keeping in mind that not every hirer of the theatre is listed in the venue's own events calendar, so if you have any questions or want to buy tickets, you'll need to contact the event organiser directly. The concert is on Thursday 12 November at the Sheldonian Theatre in Oxford.
