Hertfordshire Chorus is known for commissioning new music, high-quality yet passionate singing, tackling difficult, rarely performed music as well as much-loved and well-known pieces and is one of the UK’s finest symphonic choirs. Under the musical direction of David Temple MBE, our members give their all to singing, believing in the sheer joy and power of music to bring people closer together. We perform not only in Hertfordshire, frequently in St Albans Cathedral, but also in major venues such as the Barbican, Royal Festival Hall, Royal Albert Hall, St John’s Smith Square and Sage Gateshead. Our recordings for Signum Records include our commissions Codebreaker by James McCarthy and Ode to a Nightingale by Will Todd. More recently, our recordings of Christmas carols Nova! Nova! Joy to the World and Karl Jenkins’ The Armed Man have been released to critical acclaim.
