our singers
Members of the choir include undergraduates and postgraduates at Caius and other colleges, reading a wide range of Subjects across the Arts and Sciences.
There are normally 24 singers balanced roughly as follows:
8-9 Sopranos
4-5 Altos
4-5 Tenors
5-6 Basses
Occasionally individual singers change voice parts as their voices continue to develop with age. Our singers come from a variety of backgrounds, some with a degree of choral experience at school at others with little/no experience. We welcome any new member into the choir with musical and vocal potential.
Each singer’s background and experience is taken into account at the audition stage, as is explained in Join the Choir.
“This is a choir of well–matched young voices, secure in matters of balance and intonation, sensitive in phrasing and nuance. Out of their ranks they produce some admirable soloists.”
