Choral Classics with Bob Chilcott

Composer, conductor, and singer, Bob Chilcott is Principal Conductor of Birmingham University Singers, the University's mixed chamber choir of up to 45 auditioned singers. Since its inception, the choir has gained a national reputation as one of the finest university choirs in the UK. Rehearsing weekly and performing a wide and varied repertoire, the choir usually gives two concerts per year in the Elgar Concert Hall, plus a performance in Symphony Hall, Birmingham as part of University of Birmingham Voices. Their annual Festival of Lessons and Carols at St Michael’s, Tenbury, has been a highlight of the academic year for over forty years.

In this short concert Birmingham University Singers will perform their autumn repertoire in this historic venue alongside the St Martin's Choral Scholars.
