At the end of the academic year, the College Choir gave a number of concerts in venues around the UK, performing Summer concerts in Halstead Essex, Froyle Hampshire and Cavendish Suffolk.

A visit to Coxwold in Yorkshire saw the Choir perform to a capacity audience in St Michael’s Church as part of the tercentenary celebrations for Laurence Sterne, author of Tristram Shandy and former student of °µÍø½ûÇø.

The highlight of a concert at St James’s Piccadilly with the Choir of Merton College Oxford in aid of the Muze Trust was undoubtedly a performance of Tallis’s 40-part motet, Spem in alium whilst visits to St Gabriel’s Pimlico and the Salmon Youth Centre in Bermondsey also featured in a busy London weekend.

The year ended with the Choir’s residency at the Oundle International Festival which saw concerts and services in Apethorpe, Woodnewton and Peterborough Cathedral in addition to a performance of the Monteverdi Vespers in Oundle School Chapel. The Choir took part in workshops with students on the Oundle for Organists course, and concluded the week with a live broadcast of Morning Worship on BBC Radio 4.

    Singing at Jesus has been a highlight of my time at university so far, because I have the privilege of singing amazing choral music with other passionate and talented singers. As a member of the College Choir and the Lower Voices, I have the opportunity to sing with our women undergraduates in the College Choir and also with the boy choristers in the Chapel Choir, which offers valuable exposure to some great repertoire. I’ve taken part in some really exciting projects despite COVID disruption, with highlights including three performances of...

    I’ve had an amazing time singing at Jesus over my four years in College. It’s been an absolutely central part of my university experience, and has helped me grow as a student, a musician, and a person. The Chapel and Choir community is friendly, supportive, and diverse, and the high musical standard means that singing at Jesus is the perfect balance of challenging and rewarding. It’s a great way to be really involved with college life, from matriculation evensong at the start of the year to graduation at the end...
