Schola Cantorum of Oxford is one of the longest established and most widely known chamber choirs in the UK. Founded by conductor László Heltay in 1960 as Collegium Musicum Oxoniense, Schola Cantorum has worked with many highly respected musicians, including former patrons Sir Michael Tippett and Yehudi Menuhin, as well as Leonard Bernstein, Gustav Leonhardt, John Nelson, Sir Colin Davis, Sir Mark Elder, and Sir Neville Marriner.
Schola Cantorum comprises around thirty singers, most of whom are students at Oxford University. Studying a broad variety of subjects across the Humanities and Sciences, the choir’s members rehearse during term, and regularly perform in Oxford and elsewhere. The choir has developed a noteworthy international reputation, having given concerts in recent years in Argentina, China, France, Italy, Israel, Malta, Mexico and Spain. In September 2014 the choir visited the USA for the first time since 1989, touring through New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Philadelphia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia.
