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 a Musical Director in 2013. Members are largely drawn from current and formal 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 for conductors 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 of 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 getting involved with performances for charity[8]
