Oxford Bach Choir

GB
Classical

The Oxford Bach Choir is one of the UK's best-known amateur choirs, and is based in Oxford, England. Founded by Basil Harwood in 1896 to further the music of JS Bach in Oxford, the Choir merged in 1905 with the Oxford Choral & Philharmonic Society, whose origins can be traced back to 1819. Oxford Bach Choir can therefore feel proud to have inherited a choral tradition which extends back almost two centuries. The Choir performs at the uplifting surroundings of Sir Christopher Wren's Sheldonian Theatre right in the heart of the city.
