Immediately after the service on the 16th the Oxford Oboe Trio will be performing with a
retiring collection in aid of Kidlinks and St Mary’s Church.
The Oxford Oboe Trio is a recently-formed ensemble comprised of three friends based
in Oxfordshire. The Trio first met through the Southbank Sinfonia scheme for promising
orchestral musicians (now Sinfonia Smith Square). The Trio is excited to explore the
niche and underrepresented repertoire for oboe trio whilst engaging with their local
community.
