New College Choir

The Choir of New College Oxford, composed of adult singers and boy trebles, is one of the leading choral ensembles in the world, celebrated for its distinctive and stylish performance of music from five centuries. Since 1379 the choir has honoured the Founder’s intentions by singing choral services in chapel, and this tradition continues almost unchanged, shaping generations of choristers and academical clerks with a sense of history and of the power of music to transform the lives of performers and listeners alike. The choir looks outward from the chapel to the wider world in its innovative, award-winning recordings and international concert schedule. This musical outreach brings the choir and college global recognition, enhancing their reputation far beyond Oxford.

This priceless heritage now needs your support if the choir is to maintain its reputation for choral music at the highest standard, and its commitment to educating future generations of musicians. The costs of sustaining the choir’s high external standing grow each year, and we face the challenges of diminished funding for concerts and recordings, and the decline in revenues from them. We want to ensure that New College Choir is still being heard beyond the walls of the college – on recordings and in concert halls.

You can help to support this musical history.
