Reviving neglected choral works from past ages and plotting musical pathways into the 21st century
The choir is led by its hugely experienced founder, Stephen Jones, and is fortunate to have as its President, renowned composer Cecilia McDowall, and as Patron, Bob Chilcott. As well as commissioning and performing works by our President and Patron, we receive infusions of new music from our Composer in Residence Samuel Wilson and annually appointed up-and-coming ‘composers in association’. Our repertoire ranges far and wide, with a particular focus on 20th century British music.
We have a few vacancies in all voice parts. We’re a friendly bunch who rehearse on Tuesday evenings in the City of London. You can find out more about membership here…
If you’re a singer with reasonable sight-reading and would like to audition, we’d love to hear from you. Please email Helen Godwin.
Recent Graduates! Are you moving to London and want to continue singing but don’t know where to start? Sing with us for one term at half price! We also offer Bursaries for those who need, please email Helen Godwin to discuss.
Formed in 1987 by Stephen Jones, comprising singers of different ages and from many walks of life, we meet for rehearsals in a lovely Wren church a stone’s throw from The Monument. We perform concerts there and in many of the City of London’s other beautiful churches.
