Биография

Crouch End Festival Chorus is one of Britain’s leading and most versatile symphonic choirs with a reputation nationally and internationally for its eclectic repertoire, innovation and versatility in both the concert hall and recording studio. Based in north London, the choir was founded in 1984 and remains to this day under the musical direction of David Temple MBE. We are proud to be known for our wide range of singing skills - performing and recording specially commissioned pieces as well as traditional classical works from the 16th to 21st centuries. The choir promotes its own concerts at major London venues such as the Barbican and Royal Festival Hall while also celebrating its north London roots with performances in Alexandra Palace, Muswell Hill, Crouch End and Highgate. We have performed and recorded with some of the biggest names in classical and rock music, including tenor Andrea Bocelli, bass-baritone Sir Bryn Terfel, composers Ennio Morricone and Hans Zimmer and rock stars Sir Ray Davies and Noel Gallagher. We are also in demand in the studio, recording everything from commercials and film sound tracks such as the Elton John biopic Rocketman, to albums with major pop music and classical artists such as Alfie Boe and The Divine Comedy. We regularly take part in the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall and are involved in a wide range of  engagements on television, radio and in concert halls with other major musical figures
