About City Chamber Choir
City Chamber Choir was founded by Stephen Jones in 1987 and aims to revive neglected choral works from past ages, to search out the best in 20th century composition, especially British music, and to plot musical pathways for the present century by commissioning new music.
The choir is led by its founder, Stephen Jones, and draws on guidance from its President, composer Cecilia McDowall, and Patron, Bob Chilcott.
Rehearsals and concerts take place mainly in the City of London’s magnificent churches and livery halls but the choir has also toured Europe and the UK.
In May 2020 a performance of Bach's Mass in B minor at St Paul's Church Covent Garden had to be cancelled, a pinnacle of achievement that the choir had been working towards for many months. During the pandemic the choir has been rehearsing mostly online. Two small Christmas music events are taking place in December 2020, in Sussex and in Hertfordshire. As in all the performing arts it is very hard for professional musicians to be able to continue their livelihoods. The choir aims to continue to support them, and also the composers who are associated with the choir. Any donations made would help us to continue this support.
