We welcome new members. Feel free to get in touch and we’ll invite you to join in with a rehearsal alongside existing members, and to stay behind for 10 minutes for a simple audition. Our musical director will be pleased to meet you and will usually ask you to sing through a passage from the rehearsal, with them accompanying on piano. This all helps you understand if you would like to join, and ask any questions. We make every effort to make auditioners feel welcome, to hear you at your best. Auditions are normally held three times a year, at the start of each term (January, May, September), but prospective members can enquire at any time.

Our aim is that every singer should play a significant part in the blended whole, so that the group is exceptionally sensitive to the moods both of individual singers and the conductor. We also keep numbers limited; thus the choir’s characteristic chamber sound is maintained.

Rehearsals take place every Thursday from 8pm-10pm, usually at Holy Rood church, Abingdon Road, Oxford. There is parking. We usually give three concerts a year, and also have a variable number of special engagements for conferences, weddings etc. Subscription payable is currently £63 per term, with some reductions.

It’s always worth asking, so feel free to contact us if you would like to know more.
