The Choir
The Lincoln College Chapel Choir is a welcoming and friendly mixed-voice choir, which gives talented singers the opportunity to make music in the intimate setting of Lincoln College’s seventeenth-century Chapel.
During term time, the Choir sings the weekly service of choral evensong on Sunday evenings, as well as additional services for major church and college events.
The Music List for Hilary term 2025 is available here.
The Choir is run exclusively by the undergraduate organ scholars who audition, conduct, and accompany the singers. Members of the choir benefit from weekly lessons from an expert singing instructor. Drawing its members from both the undergraduate and graduate student bodies, the Choir maintains an active social life and strong community spirit.
Joining the Choir
The current organ scholars are Daniel McCarthy and Louis Fletcher, who are delighted to meet prospective singers at any time. The Choir provides a wonderful opportunity for singers to enjoy a high level of chapel music on a modest time commitment, as well as the free singing lessons, and free Sunday Formal Hall meals. There are up to eight choral scholars and exhibitioners in the Choir at any time; applications are made at the start of the academic year and are open to current members of the Choir.
In my free time I sing in the College Chapel Choir, and play cello for various ensembles, including a piano trio, Oxford University Chamber Ensemble, and the Oxford University Orchestra.
