The choir of Lincoln College holds a reputation as one of the finest mixed-voice chapel choirs at the University of Oxford. Containing between 16 and 18 members, the choir gives talented singers the opportunity to make music in a more intimate setting at a detailed and high level. During term time, the choir's modest commitment includes a weekly Sunday evensong and Wednesday evening rehearsal, with the occasional additional service for major church and college feast days. This allows the choir to pursue exciting concert and touring schedules outside of the busy university term time.
Drawing its members from across Oxfordshire, in and outside the university, the choir also maintains an active social life and strong community spirit.
