Colla Voce Singers is a London chamber choir, founded in 2005 by a group of recently graduated choral scholars. Originally under the direction of Lee Ward, with Aidan Coburn taking over as Musical Director in 2013. Members are largely drawn from current and former choral scholars of universities including Oxford, Cambridge, Royal Holloway, King’s College London and Birmingham, as well as a number of London conservatoires. Some of the members also sing professionally in churches and cathedrals around London.[1].
Performances by the choir include those for audiences such as Pope Benedict, Tony Blair, and TRH Prince and Princess Michael of Kent[2], in addition to working with conductors such as James MacMillan and ensembles such as the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra[3]. International engagements have taken the choir to Latvia, Poland, France and Italy. Repertoire the choir has performed ranges from 16th-century polyphony to contemporary works by composers such as Roxanna Panufnik, whose 'Love Abide' it recorded for Warner Classics[4] and re-released by Signum Classics in 2019[5]. The choir is particularly noted for its performances of pieces from the Baroque era[6][7], and its involvement with performances for charity[8]
