Concerts - ADMS

Abingdon & District Musical Society is an amateur mixed voice choir and full symphony orchestra, and has been making music in Abingdon, Oxfordshire since 1946.

The choir has about 70 singers, and the orchestra has around 40 regular members with strong string and wind sections.

Each year, the society gives two concerts featuring mixed choral and orchestral works, an orchestral concert, a choral concert, and a light hearted charity Christmas concert.

The Musical Director is the internationally-renowned conductor Alexander Walker.

The Honorary President of ADMS is Professor Donald Burrows of the Open University.

We are a very friendly society and always welcome new members.

Our new video

The ADMS choir and orchestra have been meeting virtually while we can’t meet or give concerts. Members of the orchestra produced this video in Spring 2021. It was not as easy as it looks or sounds to listen to a backing track in headphones, and video yourself while attempting to play a 6-minute part perfectly! But we’re proud of the final result and hope you enjoy our performance. (See if you can spot some nutcrackers behind one of the players!)

Next planned concert

In line with the Government advice on social gatherings and distancing, several of our concerts have been postponed. Future dates and programmes are subject to change.
