Program to follow.
Free entrance, collection afterwards.

Queens' College Chapel Choir is a mixed choir of up to twenty-four singers and two Organ Scholars under the direction of Nicholas Morris. Although the majority of its members have no training in music, the choir is made up of highly talented musicians who are happy to combine the commitments of a Cambridge degree with high caliber choral experience. The choir combines high level music making and an ambitious and broad repertoire with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere (and lively social life!).
Regular cathedral visits and recitals in Cambridge complement the Chapel Choir's core duties. Recent tours include Hong Kong (2014), Hungary (2015), France (2016), US (2017), Greece (2018) and France (2019), and the choir plans to visit Switzerland in 2024. The choir has a large discography and has been praised in reviews of recent recordings 'Flight of Song', 'Songs of Heaven and Earth' and 'For the Wings of a Dove'. The Chapel Choir regularly performs new music from both emerging and established composers, and has commissioned new music to mark the centenary of the death of former organ scholar, Charles Villiers Stanford in 2024.

Nicholas Morris spent his early musical years in the choir at Westminster Abbey under James O'Donnell. Between 2011 and 2014, Nicholas held the Organ Scholarship at Queens' College, Cambridge, where he also studied for a degree in music. After graduating he moved to the West Midlands and took up the post of Assistant Organist at Birmingham Cathedral. After a period as Assistant Organist at Clare College, Cambridge, he is now Director of Music at Queens' College, Cambridge, and Principal Organist and Assistant Director of Music at St George's Church, Hanover Square, London.
