The Choir of Somerville College, Oxford, in its present form) was founded by Francis Knights and Sam Bayliss in 2001. The choir sings evensong during term and performs regularly in concerts organised by Somerville Music Society. In recent years the choir has toured Germany and Italy and sung at Worcester, Southwark, Winchester and Wells cathedrals.
Since David Crown took over as Director of Music, the choir has been involved in a number of concerts and opera productions. In 2010 the choir appeared in a memorial concert for Iris Murdoch and gave a performance of Tavener's 'Song for Athene' in the presence of the composer. In 2011 Somerville Choir performed Bach's St John Passion and recorded its first commercial CD (Duruflé's Requiem, Milford's Mass for Five Voices) featuring internationally acclaimed soloists Christine Rice (mezzo-soprano), Mark Stone (baritone) and Guy Johnston (cello). Plans for this year include evensong at St Paul's Cathedral and performances of Bach's 'Christ lag in Todesbanden'.
