Oakham School Chamber Choir, Rutland
The Oakham School Chamber Choir is a 25 voice choir drawn from the very best members of the school's 100 strong Chapel Choir. Oakham School has a very strong musical tradition, and the Chamber Choir is one of five choirs, three orchestras, four bands and numerous chamber ensembles that rehearse each week and collectively give over 70 concerts each year.

The Chamber Choir performs a wide range of accompanied and "a capella" repertoire as well as maintaining a tradition of performing a major oratorio each year (Haydn's "The Creation" in January 2005) with all the solo arias sung by members of the choir. It is the only auditioned choir in the school, and it includes members who were formerly cathedral choristers as well as current members of the National Youth Choirs. The choir is conducted by the school's Director of Music, Peter Davis, who joined Oakham in September 2005.
