Summertown Choral Society is a well-established mixed voice amateur choir with around 130 members.

Whilst based in North Oxford, its members are drawn from all over the city, and surrounding areas. We aim to encourage a friendly atmosphere in which everyone enjoys singing. The Society has been directed by Duncan Saunderson since 1996 - there is no audition and we perform twice a year, in January and May.

We always welcome new members, so if you would like to sing, do give us a try.

Last Concert

Our last concert was held at St Andrew's Church in Oxford on Saturday 16 May.

The concert featured Mozart's Great Mass in C minor and a new commission entitled Songs of Ariel by well known choral composer, and director of Magdalen College choir, Oxford - Grayston "Bill" Ives.

The concert was the premiere of Songs of Ariel, which sets to music three songs sung by Ariel the airy spirit from Shakespeare's The Tempest.
