Join the MIO Culture Club to experience the Choir of Royal Holloway College together at St Bartholomew the Great in West Smithfield, EC1A 7BE.
The choir has developed a formidable reputation under its director Rupert Gough for its ambitious and innovative programming. The 20 choral scholars that constitute the college’s Chapel Choir undertake a busy schedule of services alongside frequent concerts, tours and recordings. Given that the choir’s personnel is renewed by one-third every year, it maintains a remarkably consistent high standard, whether tackling major works by the likes of Monteverdi and Mozart or exploring the works of living composers like James MacMillan and Paul Mealor. Their musical journey takes the audience from an evening canticle through starry nights and sleep and ending with dawn and Finzi’s setting of Robert Bridge’s rapturous declaration of the joy wrought by love.
