Somerville College Choir at St. Philip

FREE EVENT: "Music at St. Philip presents a concert by Somerville College Choir from Oxford, England. This is one of only two Texas stops in the choir's current U.S. tour before performing at several venues in New York City.

From the college's website: "Our Chapel and Choir are unique among Oxford colleges. True to the spirit of our founders, who chose not to impose any faith on Somerville, both Chapel and Choir are non-denominational in their practice and vision. The services they offer and the music they sing are defined by an eclecticism and openness which make them an essential part of daily life in College."

"Somerville College Choir is young by Oxford standards, yet has achieved a phenomenal amount since its foundation. Professionally directed, we've released several albums with commercial labels, undertaken international tours and performed live on national radio. However, the real strength of our Choir is its freedom from convention.

"Always eclectic, the music sung by the Somerville College Choir balances Anglican choral works with secular music and works by female composers and People of Colour."
