Music

Music at Brasenose comes under the overall responsibility of the Director of College Music, Jonathan Newell, whose job is to promote many forms of music-making in Brasenose College, by offering support to individual musicians and music groups/ensembles, as well as organising regular performance events. The College's talented organ scholars, choral scholars and JCR and HCR Arts representatives play a significant role in music-making in the College.

The chief aim is to foster an environment in which students (of all disciplines), fellows and alumni can engage with music-making as performers, listeners or organisers, through providing opportunities to experience a wide range of music and to develop the college's musical talents and interests.

Students are encouraged to set up ensembles and express an interest in putting on a specific event, whether it be a chamber ensemble, rock band, or Open Mic night. If you wish to organise a specific event or take part in a concert, then please contact the Director of College Music here.

The College possesses a Bluthner grand piano in the Chapel, as well as an upright piano in one of the two music rooms in Frewin. These can be booked for practice through the lodge.
