About UsIf you have not heard the Oxford Civic Chorus, you have a treat in store. The Oxford Civic Chorus is an excellent group of musicians from a variety of backgrounds and occupations, hailing from Oxford and the entire North Mississippi area. Membership is by audition only. The group performs a varied repertory including patriotic, popular, spiritual, stage, screen, and folk song genres and has performed major works with the Memphis Symphony and Jackson Symphony. HistoryThe first rehearsal/meeting of the Oxford Civic Chorus was Monday evening, August 24, 1998 in the Fellowship Hall of the First Presbyterian Church. The chorus was made up of approximately 40 volunteer community members who had a desire to participate in choral singing. The original organizers were Gabriel C. Statom, a senior music major at the University of Mississippi, and Dr. Martha Hitch of the university’s Music Department |
