Established in 1924, the BBC Singers constitute Britain’s only full-time professional chamber choir and the versatility of this virtuoso twenty-four voice ensemble makes it both an important resource in the BBC’s music broadcasting and a major force in British musical life. The BBC Singers’ repertoire includes everything from Renaissance music to the latest contemporary scores, and the choir’s unrivalled expertise with the latter has brought about creative relationships with some of the most important composers and conductors of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

As at home on the concert platform as in the recording studio, the BBC Singers also regularly work with the BBC’s own orchestras, a number of period instrument and contemporary music ensembles, and with a host of internationally renowned conductors. The BBC Singers’ expansive outreach programme includes regular collaborations with school children, youth choirs, the amateur choral community, as well as with the professional composers, singers and conductors of tomorrow.
