chaPEl choir PErForMancEs

Trinity Laban is the only conservatoire to have its own Chapel Choir. It offers 12 choral scholars and two Morden scholars the opportunity for an Oxbridge-style choral education, leading several into the professional choral world via Genesis Sixteen, the Monteverdi Choir apprentice scheme etc. In addition to the Choral Scholars, the Chapel Choir includes a number of other excellent singers.

Directed by Ralph Allwood MBE, the Chapel Choir sings during term time in support of the services of the Choral Eucharist (Sundays at 11.00h) and Choral Evensong (Mondays at 17.30h) in the Old Royal Naval College Chapel.

In addition, the Chapel Choir gives concert performances accompanied by professional orchestras during the year, with choral soloists chosen entirely from the Choir.
