Securing the future of music at St Giles’
More than just a place of worship, St Giles’ holds a special place in the musical tradition of Oxford, nurturing the talent of young people and helping them to achieve their full potential as musicians and choristers. Many of our girls and boys have reached the highest grades in their music qualifications and have gone on to secure choral or music scholarships at leading universities and colleges. All our musicians, both young and old, have discovered the joy and fulfillment of music making amongst friends.
Launched to celebrate the 900th anniversary of St Giles’, Project 900 is raising over £750,000 to restore and improve the fabric of the church and to install a new, mechanical action organ which will maintain St Giles’ as one of the UK’s leading institutions for the education of young organists.
Improved facilities for the use of young people and their teachers will set the conditions for providing access to the best musical education and experiences, irrespective of background.
