The City of Oxford Choir is a chamber choir of keen singers from all walks of life in and around Oxford. Originally formed in 1977 to host a visiting choir from Leiden in the Netherlands, one of Oxford’s twin cities, 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, and we are also lucky to regularly welcome to rehearsals vocal coach and professional countertenor William Purefoy.
