About

An incredibly diverse mix of musical periods and styles, covering five centuries of vocal composition, is delivered by one of the lesser-known gems of the English choral world, the Choir of Royal Holloway, University of London, one of the UK's top university institutions, acknowledged worldwide for high quality research and an excellent record in teaching quality.
 
For 120 years the Choir has sung the Daily Morning Service in the College Chapel, as well as the Sunday Evening Service. The Choir has made 14 CD recordings and over 25 tours to most European Countries, singing in some of the world's best churches and cathedrals. There are currently 20 Choral Scholars in the College Choir, based in Egham, Surrey, and many combine their scholarship with deputy work singing in the major church and cathedral choirs in London.
 
Past scholars have gone on to sing in opera (WNO and ENO) and in ensembles including The Tallis Scholars, The Gabrieli Consort,Tenebrae and The Sixteen. A number of current British cathedral organists trained as organ scholars at Royal Holloway. In addition, alongside its concert schedule, the choir is regularly asked to sing services in St. Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Abbey and St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.
