City of Oxford Choir

A premier English chamber choir, directed by Duncan Aspden

The City of Oxford Choir is a chamber choir of keen singers from all walks of life in and around Oxford. Since its inception in 1977, the choir has gone from strength to strength and is widely regarded as one of the premier choirs in Oxford. Duncan Aspden has been Musical Director of the choir since 2005. 

The choir gives four concerts a year both in Oxford and further afield. In a city rich with historic performance spaces we are fortunate to have performed in Oxford’s Town Hall, the University Church, SJE Arts and several College chapels. We also perform outside of Oxford both locally (Abingdon, Windsor, London) and internationally (the Netherlands, Norway).  

The choir’s rich and eclectic programmes span centuries and genres, reflecting our versatility and artistic depth. We programme a diverse range of sacred and secular music, both a capella or accompanied by organ, piano or instrumentalists.
