About The Arcadian Singers at 50 – Scarlatti x Bach
Celebrating their 50th Year, The Arcadian Singers are pleased to announce their Spring Concert – Scarlatti x Bach in the glorious surroundings of Keble College Chapel on Sunday 15th March 2026 at 7.30pm.
The evening concert will feature Stabat mater dolorosa (Scarlatti) and Jesu, meine Freude (Bach) together with music by Kuhnau and Telemann.
Founded in 1976 as a madrigal choir, The Arcadian Singers are Oxford’s premier independent chamber choir, providing a platform for young singers and excellent music-making. The choir consists mainly of students and staff from the various universities in Oxford.
Over the years, the choir has recorded three successful CDs, premiered several contemporary works, broadcast on BBC Radio 3, performed with professionals such as Katherine Jenkins, and organised regular tours abroad.
As well as performing in the many churches and college chapels in Oxfordshire, the choir has sung services at St. Paul’s Cathedral, Westminster Cathedral and Westminster Abbey, and since 1995 have been invited to act as the ‘choir in residence’ during the Easter Triduum at Ampleforth Abbey.
As part of their 50th celebrations, the choir are undertaking a range of concerts and have been invited to sing at Shakespeare’s Music Festival in Stratford Upon Avon in April.
