Keep an eye on our socials!
OUSE is a very friendly, non-auditioned string ensemble that exists to show Oxford that string orchestras are capable of a lot more than one might originally think, whilst having a great deal of fun along the way. We are student conducted, and play concerts in venues around Oxford, most recently in the Holywell Music Room, and in the University Church in Michaelmas 2024. Our repertoire is really varied, from staples by Corelli and Warlock, to our annual composition competition, to music by Anna Clyne and Dobrinka Tabakova. We would love for you to come and join us at our rehearsals, no matter your ability or experience!
