BBC Singers
Established in 1924, the BBC Singers are the UK’s only full-time professional chamber choir.The versatility of this virtuoso 24-voice ensemble makes it both an important resource in the BBC’s music broadcasting and a major force in British musical life.The BBC Singers’ repertoire includes everything from Renaissance music to the latest contemporary scores.The choir’s unrivalled expertise with the latter has brought about creative relationships with
some of the most important composers and conductors of
the 20th and 21st centuries.
As at home on the concert platform as in the recording studio, the BBC Singers also regularly work with the BBC’s own orchestras, a number of period-instrument and contemporary music ensembles, and with a host of internationally renowned conductors.The BBC Singers’ expansive outreach programme includes regular collaborations with schoolchildren, youth choirs and the amateur choral community, as well as with the professional composers, singers and conductors of tomorrow.
