The Choir of Royal Holloway
The Choir of Royal Holloway has attained standards of musicianship and technical refinement high above the reach of most student ensembles.
The Choir of Royal Holloway and Music Director Rupert Gough ensure that Oxbridge ensembles don't have it all their own way when it comes to great university choirs.
a truly fabulous sound
The Choir of Royal Holloway is considered one of the finest mixed-voice collegiate choirs in the country. The 20 choral scholars that constitute the college's Chapel Choir undertake a busy schedule of services, concerts, tours and recordings. The Choir of Royal Holloway is available for hire to sing concerts, commercial and corporate events, as well as at weddings and funerals. Watch and listen to clips of the choir on this website, purchase our recordings, and find out more about where to see the choir and how to support it.
