‘The Society undertakes two concerts each academic year in December and March ... The Society’s repertoire is drawn from a range of musical periods in both the sacred and secular traditions, but with a particular emphasis on performing many of the great masterworks of the choral repertory with orchestra. The Society is supported by the staff and facilities of Oakham School.’

'We’re based in Oakham, and are available to play big band swing and jazz around Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Northamptonshire and the East midlands in general. The band started in 2005 and over the years our repertoire has grown, so we can adjust our setlist to suit your event. We love to make music, so please ask about booking us, or suggesting somewhere we could do a gig. And if you just like listening, join our mailing list!'

'Usually promotes three public concerts annually, as well as giving its members other opportunities to sing at other events and with other groups ... We are a very friendly choir, including all ages, and we do not audition. Although we strive to improve our musical ability we never forget to have fun whilst doing so! The choir includes a wide range of abilities from experienced musicians and singers to those who have not sung since leaving school. You will soon find your musical knowledge increasing whilst at the same time gaining an entire new social circle with like-minded people.'

'Public performance is fundamental to Music at Oakham. It builds vital personal confidence and provides goals to work towards. Our pupils take part in over 80 concerts each year in Rutland and venues around the UK. Our annual English Song Competition and Piano Duet Competition, adjudicated by professional musicians, are eagerly anticipated events in the school calendar. We produce recordings, tour abroad biennially and participate in major national competitions. We aim to give our pupils as many opportunities as possible to hear live music and achieve this by hosting professional concerts and taking pupils to local concerts.'
