King's Voices

King's Voices

King's Voices is the mixed-voice chapel choir of King's College, Cambridge.

It was founded in 1997 primarily to give female students of the college the opportunity to sing in the chapel, because the main chapel choir is all-male. Most of the choir members are King's College students, though some are other members of the university.

King's Voices sings evensong on Mondays in term-time, when the main choir has its day off. It also participates in concerts and services in and out of Cambridge, such as in Ely Cathedral and St. George's Chapel, Windsor, and also goes on annual foreign tours. In recent years, these have included Venice (2002), Paris (2003) (including concert performances at Notre Dame and La Madeleine), Amsterdam (2004), Brussels (2005), Rome (2006), Dublin (2007) and most recently Copenhagen (2008).

The choir's current director is Simon Brown, who is also director of music at King's College Choir School, and a former choral scholar in the main chapel choir. The current choir secretary is Jill Dye.
