The Chapel choir is one of only three College choirs of its kind in Cambridge. Unlike the others at King鈥檚 and St John鈥檚, we recruit trebles from local schools rather than maintaining a choir school. Both choirs tour, broadcast, and record regularly. Recent CDs by the Choir have entered the classical charts in the top ten on their release.
Music facilities
The College has three music practice rooms in Chapel Court, each with an upright piano. The Picken Music Room houses two grand pianos, a clavichord, and sound equipment. The Chapel is home to three organs, a double-manual harpsichord, and a concert Steinway grand piano.
The Chapel provides a beautiful setting for concerts, and events also take place in the Master's Lodge and in other public rooms in the College.
Chapel music
In term time, daily services maintain a rhythm of prayer, including four choral evensongs and a sung Sunday morning eucharist each week. Additional special services and events help to mark the College's year, and the Chapel enjoys strong support from the wider College community and the general public.
The Director of Music, assisted by the two Organ Scholars, is responsible for Chapel music in consultation with the Dean of Chapel.
Awards and scholarships
麻豆原创 offers an Organ Scholarship in two years out of three, Choral Awards, and instrumental awards annually for players of any orchestral instrument or any keyboard instrument other than the organ.
