Praise from audience members for our Mozart concert with Midsomer Choral Society:
"Absolutely superb and as good as anything you would hear in London, and such a reasonable price". "An outstanding performance from the joint forces of Oakfield [Choir] and Midsomer [Choral Society]. Well worth the trip from London". If you would like to join us, there are spaces in all voices. An ability to read music is assumed, but there is no voice test.
