Oxford Youth Choirs is a group of six choirs for children up to age 19, the most recent being Musical Mayhem for babies and toddlers. These include the acclaimed Oxford Girls' Choir. Founded in 1984 by Richard Vendome, Oxford Girls' Choir was a pioneering vision for girls' singing and is now the oldest group of its kind in the UK. Our children are drawn from all backgrounds. We provide a welcoming atmosphere allowing their confidence to grow and their musicality to bloom. We encourage younger children to sing alongside older children, to stimulate their potential, whilst older singers support the teaching in the younger choirs, building new skills. Our choirs are musically ambitious and perform to a consistently-high artistic standard. Our success is built on discipline and teamwork, developed by our outstanding teachers. The choirs benefit enormously from exposure to workshops run by experts such as Roderick Williams and Edward Higginbottom (former Organist & Director of Music at New College). Our senior students regularly attain ABRSM Diplomas while still with the choir. Former members have gone on to become successful Oxbridge choral scholars, singer-songwriters, opera singers, music theatre artists, music educators, composers and choral directors.
