Oxford Student Chorus
The Oxford University Student Chorus is the University's largest non-auditioning choir. Numbering over 80 singers, the chorus is committed to bringing together both experienced and first-time singers from all parts of the University and with any (or no) musical background, through the performance of larger scale choral works. The chorus is regularly joined by Oxford's finest vocal soloists and orchestral musicians for their termly concerts, and is currently conducted by Theo Lester, a second year music student and Organ Scholar at St Peter's.
Recent concerts have included: Orff's Carmina Burana, Handel's Coronation Anthems, Mozart's Requiem, Beethoven's mass in C major, Faure's Requiem and Rossini's Petite Messe Solennelle. The Chorus performs at venues across the city, including the University Church and various College Chapels.
As Oxford's premier non-auditioning choir anyone is welcome to join - enthusiasm and committment to the weekly rehearsals (Mondays, 7:30pm-9:30pm) is of course essential! OUSC appoints a new conductor annually at the end of Trinity term.
