The Cambridge University Schola Cantorum: A New Choir For Cambridge University

Students from Cambridge University are proud to present the unprecedented foundation of The Cambridge University Schola Cantorum.  While The University Of Cambridge’s individual college choirs have been widely celebrated throughout the world, there has never before been a liturgical choir under the University’s banner, nor a University choir with national and international prestige:  A cross-college ensemble of the Cambridge’s most talented singers and an elite group of vocalists from the University – the equivalent of a sporting blue for music in the choral tradition.

Next event – Carol Concert on Wednesday 11 December 2024 at St Mary le Bow, Cheapside, London. For more information click here.
