Open rehearsal exploring a cantata by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor - free for all to join.

Samuel Coleridge-Taylor The Death of Minnehaha

Following their performance of ‘Hiawatha’s Wedding’ at RETUNE 2025, this year Oxford University Chorus are exploring the next work in Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s cantata trilogy - and you’re invited to Come and Sing! ‘The Death of Minnehaha’ chronicles a story of loss and grief while reminding us of the beauty of connection and remembrance. All are warmly welcome to join us, whether or not you are a member of the University.
