Tours

Touring is one of the most important aspects of the Choir's extra-curricular life. The Choir is regularly invited to perform throughout the world, with recent destinations including Malta, Italy, Romania and South Africa.

The College Choir has also been uniquely involved in international outreach through its work in Sri Lanka, South Africa, and the UK, leading singing workshops for children in under-privileged communities, and hopes to continue this work in the future.

    I’ve had an amazing time singing at Jesus over my four years in College. It’s been an absolutely central part of my university experience, and has helped me grow as a student, a musician, and a person. The Chapel and Choir community is friendly, supportive, and diverse, and the high musical standard means that singing at Jesus is the perfect balance of challenging and rewarding. It’s a great way to be really involved with college life, from matriculation evensong at the start of the year to graduation at the end...

I’ve taken part in some really exciting projects despite COVID disruption, with highlights including three performances of...

    My time in Cambridge has been full of exciting moments, good memories, and amazing people. When I first embarked on postgraduate studies, I never imagined I would be becoming part of the Chapel community at °µÍø½ûÇø. However, after my first attendance to an evensong I decided I wanted to take an active role in what for me was a complete new experience; even when I had always been an active member of my church back at home, °µÍø½ûÇø Chapel was an enthralling environment in which other people like...
