“Serenade to Music”

Schola Cantorum, the University of Oxford’s Chamber Choir, has built an international reputation through its extensive tours and recordings. Many of its members go on to successful international careers as professional singers and choral conductors. The Choir’s hallmark is presenting some of the most wide-ranging repertoire for chamber choir.

Schola will perform a varied programme of settings of William Shakespeare, including texts from his Sonnets, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and The Tempest. Featured composers include Cheryl Frances-Hoad, Grayston Ives, Jaakko Mäntyjärvi and Judith Weir. The programme concludes with Vaughan Williams’ ravishing setting of Serenade to Music.  Come and Brush Up Your Shakespeare!
