The Choir of King's College London

The Choir of King's College London The Choir of King’s College London is one of the leading university choirs in England. In addition, the choir gives many concerts, both in England and abroad.

Founded in its present form in 1945, it consists of around thirty choral scholars reading a variety of subjects. King’s College London, part of the University of London, was itself founded in 1829. The choir’s principal role is to provide music for the services in the College Chapel at King’s. Most recently, it has toured to France, Gibraltar, Italy and Hong Kong. Performances within the UK includ

e appearances at the Spitalfields Festival and Oundle International Festival. The choir performs a large and varied repertoire ranging from the fourteenth century to the present day. It regularly broadcasts on BBC Radio 3 and Radio 4, and has made many recordings, with a particular focus on sixteenth-century English and Spanish repertoire. These recordings have attracted very favourable reviews, described in BBC Music Magazine as ‘astonishing’ and ‘a choir as passionate as it is disciplined’, and featuring as the Editor’s Choice in Gramophone. Following some twenty years under the leadership of David Trendell, the choir is now directed by Joseph Fort. We are proud to share that we are the 2023 partner choir of the Choir & Organ Magazine, where we will be performing newly commissioned works from some fantastic young composers supported by PRS for Music.
