Having been around for nearly 140 years, Highgate Choral Society knows a thing or two about staging quality concerts. We’re one of the longest established amateur choirs, bringing the best in choral music to the people of North London.
Although our regular concert homes are local, we also occasionally venture into central London, performing at the Barbican, the Royal Festival Hall and St Paul’s Cathedral. With classical music promoter Raymond Gubbay, we’re regular performers at the Royal Albert Hall and the Barbican supporting choral classics such as Orff’s Carmina Burana, Handel’s Messiah and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 ‘Choral’.
We sing a wide variety of choral music, from the more popular choral pieces to newly-commissioned works by Julian Knight, Brian Chapple, Julian Philips and Ronald Corp. Our latest commission was Ronald Corp’s Missa Andalucia which had its world premiere at Iglesia de la Magdalena in Seville in May 2019.
Although an amateur choir we work with professional musicians; the New London Orchestra is a regular partner. We sing with both established and up-and-coming artists including Anna Devin, Sam Evans, Magid el-Bushra and Grace Davidson.
We also tour every two years and if you want to know more about where we have been, details of our most recent tour are here.
