Fund a Seat

The Hall

��Ƶ is renowned for its music, and yet the ��Ƶ has no dedicated performance space. To address this, the East Wing of the new building will house a versatile and fully accessible Recital Hall.

The 100-seat auditorium will also be an inspiring venue for theatrical performances, talks, debates and exhibitions.

Fund a Seat

You can help create this exceptional space.

A gift of £5,000 will fund a seat in the Hall, whether as a single gift or as five annual gifts of £1,000 per year.

How to Give

Below are some examples of how UK tax payers can make a tax-efficient donation. In all cases, the ��Ƶ claims Gift Aid and the donor reclaims against their tax liability.

NB. The figures given assume the Higher Rate of income tax (40%) is being paid. Donors paying the Additional Rate (45%) will be able to reclaim a further 5%.

"The Hall will be a wonderful addition to the ��Ƶ. When combined with the Clore Music Studios, which opened this year on the edge of the Gradel site, the ��Ƶ's musicians in all subjects will have access to some of the finest facilities in Oxford. This architecturally and acoustically stunning space is fitting to our musical heritage, and a tremendous legacy to future generations of students."
