City of Oxford Orchestra
W elcome to our 2018 into 2019 season, which
features not only our ever-popular trio of
Christmas and New Year celebrations but also two
surprises for 2019.
The Traditional Christmas Carol Concert brings a
superb selection of musical favourites and gives you
the chance to join in and sing in the fantastic
Sheldonian Theatre.
The Christmas Concerto by Candlelight is a truly
magical musical experience in the superb acoustics
of Exeter College Chapel. To welcome 2019, the
exuberant Stephen Bell presents his unmissable
Viennese New Year Concert featuring the superb
tenor, Joshua Ellicott.
Then we have a special treat for Valentine’s Day with
a Salute to Love recital from our Artist in Residence,
Tom Poster, and violinist Elena Urioste, and
March sees the joyful return of Springtime Baroque
in a fundraising Dogs for Good concert.
We look forward to welcoming old friends and lots
of new faces!

Dogs for Good
Dogs for Good (formerly
Dogs for the Disabled), was
founded in 1988 by Frances
Hay, herself disabled, and a
lifelong animal lover and dog
owner. Frances recognised
that the strong bond she enjoyed with her own dog
helped to maintain her independence, and also that her
dog was able to carry out small but vitally important
tasks such as picking up dropped items and steadying her
while she stood up and walked. Since then, Dogs for
Good has transformed the lives of thousands of adults
and children with disabilities, by partnering them with
dogs that offer both physical and emotional support.
In 2004, Dogs for Good introduced the UK’s first
assistance dogs for children with physical disabilities.
Shortly afterwards the charity developed their service for
children with autism and, most recently, have worked with
Alzheimer Scotland to train dementia assistance dogs.
The charity also now trains activity and therapy dogs to
work with specialist handlers in hospitals, schools and
social care settings, supporting people with a wide range
of conditions including learning disabilities, dementia,
physical disabilities and autism.
