The Chapel Choir was created at the time of the foundation of Royal Holloway in 1886. Originally a choir for women’s voices, the Choir now comprises twenty Choral Scholars of mixed voices. Past scholars have gone on to sing in opera (WNO and ENO) and in ensembles including The Sixteen, The Tallis Scholars, The Gabrieli Consort, Tenebrae, and The Clerkes of Oxenford. Past members of the Choir also include international soloists Dame Felicity Lott and Susan Bullock. In recent years the Choir has made numerous CD recordings and over 25 tours to most European countries where they have been featured in a number of music festivals. The Choir is also regularly asked to sing services in St Paul’s Cathedral, Westminster Abbey and St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle as well as broadcast for BBC Radio.
