Concerts & Broadcasts
The choir gives a number of concerts both in the UK and abroad each year, making appearances in prestigious festivals such as the Spitalfields Festival in London; as well as performing in churches, cathedrals and halls.
Live broadcasts of Choral Evensong on BBC Radio 3 are a regular feature in the choir’s schedule. Some have been notably adventurous in content including a service of music composed specially for the occasion by students at Caius and a service of South African music broadcast from Pietermaritzburg in South Africa. In recent years the Choir has broadcast live from locations such as the Church of St John the Baptist in Cirencester and Buckfast Abbey in Devon.
