London Chorus

London Chorus

The London Chorus is an amateur choir, under the musical direction of Ron Corp. It was founded as London Choral Society in 1903 to give the first London performance of Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius. In October 2000, the choir changed its name to The London Chorus, performing its inaugural concert, Delius’s A Mass of Life, at the Royal Festival Hall.

Comprising around 130 members the choir rehearses on Tuesday nights at Baden Powell House in South Kensington, London. As well as promoting its own concerts, The London Chorus works with major orchestras and promoters, both in London and abroad.
