Come And Join Us!

Summertown Choral Society gives two concerts a year, generally in January/February and May/June, usually in St Andrew’s Church, North Oxford. The year consists of two terms, and runs from early September to May or June, with short breaks for Christmas and Easter.

Joining SCS

Summertown Choral Society welcomes new members of all ages, voices, and abilities. There is no audition. If you would like, just come along and sing with us in a rehearsal before deciding whether you’d like to join.

Next term – which starts on 18 September 2025 – we will be preparing for a concert of Bach Magnificat and Haydn Missa in tempore belli {Pauckenmesse). For more details click here.
