Rehearsals and concerts are scheduled so that students, academics and professionals are all able to participate in the choir's programmes.
The choir enjoys good relationships both with Oxford colleges and with businesses in the city.
New members, drawn from throughout Oxfordshire and adjacent counties, are encouraged to apply to join the choir at the start of each term.
[citation needed] Oxford Bach Choir gives at least three concerts every season, at the end of each academic term in December, March and June, occasions that attract audiences of up to 800 people.
In 2018 the choir appointed a new principal conductor, Benjamin Nicholas, who is also director of music at Merton College, Oxford.
