The Chapel Choir of 24 choral scholars from Royal Holloway College, University of London, has become one of the finest mixed-voice collegiate choirs in the UK. Alongside a regular schedule of worship and concerts in the College, the choir undertakes a busy programme of external concerts, broadcasts, recordings and international tours. Its CD, Hail Queen of Heaven, on Hyperion, featuring the ‘purity and spiritual fervour’ of Latvian composer Rihards Dubra’s sacred music, has been widely acclaimed and featured frequently on Classic FM. The Times recently described the choir as ‘truly fabulous’ and ‘breathtakingly musical’.
This concert is part of the Young Artists Series showcasing new and emerging talent in the world of classical music. The series is presented in partnership with City Music Society.
