The St Peter's College Music Society is thrilled to present a full term's worth of music-making in college after four particularly difficult terms. Encompassing a wide range of performers, instruments, genres and styles, there is something for everyone in this term's programme!
All of this term's recitals will take place in the College Chapel on Thursdays at 13:15, lasting no more than approximately 45 minutes. Admission is free. They will all also be available a few days afterwards on the SPCOxford YouTube channel, along with past SPCMS recitals.
