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 40 regular members with strong string and wind sections.
Each year, we give a mixture of orchestral and choral concerts, and a light hearted charity Christmas concert.
Our Musical Director is internationally-renowned conductor Alexander Walker.
Our Honorary President is Professor Donald Burrows of the Open University.
We are a very friendly society and always welcome new members.
