A Match Made in Heaven
24 October 2026, 4:45pm - 5:45pm
In the rich tradition of Oxford's choral music, The Choir of The Queen's College stands out as one of the city's leading ensembles, described by BBC Music Magazine as 'a glorious earful'. In the beautiful chapel of St Edward's School, they perform a selection of favourite choral works, with a particular focus on the Song of Songs. The programme includes Palestrina's ‘Sicut servus’, Walton's ‘Set me as a seal’, and works by Duruflé, Victoria, Holst and Lauridsen.
The cafe at the Olivier Hall will be open from 3.30pm, serving tea, coffee and cake before the 4.45pm concert.
