Alumni and their guests are warmly invited to attend a concert by the Choir of St John's College Cambridge. 

The Choir of St John's College, Cambridge is one of the finest collegiate choirs in the world, known and loved by millions from its broadcasts, concert tours and over 90 recordings.

Founded in the 1670s, the Choir is known for its distinctive rich, warm sound, its expressive interpretations and its breadth of repetoire.

In May 2016 the College launched its new 'St John's Cambridge' recording label (in conjunction with Signum Classics) on which the Choir has released the BBC Music Magazine Award winning recording of Jonathan Harvey's music: DEO; Christmas with St John's and KYRIE.

This Easter the Choir is returning to the Far East to perform concerts at the Hong Kong City Hall and the Singapore Esplanade. The Choir's Director Andrew Nethsingha is excited to be returning: 'It is a great pleasure to be returning to Hong Kong and Singapore, two places which I love!
