JdP Music Building

St Hilda's College

Celebrating 30 years

Oxford’s best modern music venue | The Jacqueline du Pré Music Building

The Jacqueline du Pré Music Building is Oxford's most intimate music venue and boasts extraordinary acoustics.

The JdP’s 30th anniversary in 2025 provides a wonderful moment to celebrate its profound impact and to establish firm foundations for the coming decades.

Based at St Hilda’s College, it is home to a professional concert series, regular lunchtime recitals and a wide range of other university events, theatrical productions, art exhibitions and conferences. Our community series includes Cushion Concerts for the family and concerts for people with dementia.

The building also contains five piano practice rooms and a state-of-the-art recording studio available for hire.
