The Queen’s College has a strong musical tradition, and the mixed-voiced chapel choir is recognised as one of the finest university choirs in the country.
The Choir of The Queen's College, Oxford was recently hailed as ‘one of the world’s most renowned choirs’ by Classic FM and the Director Owen Rees’s interpretations of choral music have been described as ‘revelatory and even visionary’ (BBC Music Magazine). The mixed-voice choir consists of around thirty singers, including Choral Scholars who are students of the College, Choral Exhibitioners from other colleges, and professional Lay Clerks.
