ADMS has been making music since 1946. We are a mixed voice choir and a full symphony orchestra. We are led by professional musicians with Alexander Walker as Musical Director, Olivier Bonnici as Leader and John Oxlade as Choir Accompanist.

We rehearse on Mondays (orchestra) and Thursdays (choir) from September to June, between 7.30 pm and 9.30 pm at the Manor Preparatory School, Abingdon from 7.30-9.30 pm. We perform 5 concerts each year, including a concert of Christmas music - usually in venues around Abingdon including Radley College, Abingdon School and St Helen’s Church.

The choir has some 70 members (not auditioned) and the orchestra has around 40 regular members, with additional players being brought in as required for concerts. Orchestral players are auditioned by a trial period in the orchestra. We are always pleased to welcome new members.
