  The young Benjamin Britten, as a student at the Royal College of Music, composed settings for two Psalms. Composer Frank Bridge, who was Britten’s mentor, admired them but at the time the music was too demanding for the chorus at the RCM. Both pieces remained unperformed until the opening concert of the Britten in Oxford centenary festival on Saturday, at the Sheldonian Theatre.

  Here’s another first for the Sheldonian — the premiere performance by the Elias String Quartet in their marathon journey through the entire cycle of Beethoven string quartets. Taking two years to complete, the cycle will tour all over the country, returning to Oxford under the auspices of Music at Oxford as each new group of quartets is presented.

  It’s wonderful to see the Oxford Philomusica champion young artists, including 19-year-old violinist Savitri Grier, pictured, winner of the orchestra’s inaugural Youth Concerto Competition. She tackled Sibelius’ Violin Concerto in D Minor with poise and maturity displaying natural technique and musicality. With her virtuosic handling of the cadenzas and the expressive movement of her body, she was mesmerising. The orchestra impressed too, with conductor Marios Papadopoulos ensuring sensitive support and meticulous attention to detail and there was a seemingly tangible rapport between soloist and orchestra. This was a compelling performance of one of the great early 20th-century masterpieces, and it was a privilege to witness a star in the making. Savitri Grier is undoubtedly a name to watch. There were memorable moments in Andante Moderato. The third movement was joyful while the final movement, with its unusual passacaglia and variations, brought the symphony to a powerful and exhilarating finish.
