The City Chamber Choir in London, established in 1987 by Music Director Stephen Jones, focuses on exploring overlooked choral repertoire.
City Chamber Choir is a highly professional amateur group with a membership of 25–30 singers. The choir has given many performances of little know, but beautiful and impressive music. As a result, the choir has been awarded PRS Choral Enterprise Awards on six occasions.
We are immensely proud to support young composers in the early part of their careers. Samuel studied composition at Guildhall School of Music and Drama and Matthew King.
The choir have been working with Samuel for nearly a decade performing and commissioning a number of Samuel’s works including, ‘Where London Stood’, ‘Spring’, ‘Le Cygne’, ‘The Kings Gloria’ and ‘I hear the bells’.
!! NEWSFLASH !! We’re excited to be singing Samuel’s new work ‘Westward Leading’ at our Christmas concert on 17th December 2024.
