Chapel Choir

Originally formed in 1626, it was re-constituted in 1998 with the intention of honouring the wish of the College’s Founder, Edward Alleyn (1566 to 1626), to create a choral foundation at Dulwich modelled on those of the Chapels Royal and Westminster Abbey.

The Chapel Choir sings around 30 services per year at Christ’s Chapel, Dulwich, and at major College occasions such as the Carol Service and Spring Choral Concert at Southwark Cathedral.

The Chapel Choir has sung also sung Services at Westminster Abbey, Westminster Cathedral, St Paul’s Cathedral, Holy Trinity Sloane Square, St George’s Chapel Windsor Castle, Portsmouth and Hereford Cathedrals and at Trinity, Clare and Jesus Colleges in Cambridge.

Past Choral and Organ Scholars have gone on to win scholarships at the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, Royal Holloway and Portsmouth Cathedral, as well as to the London Conservatoires, including the Royal Academy of Music.

Originally formed in 1626, the Chapel Choir was re-formed in 1998 in honour of the College’s Founder, Edward Alleyn, who wanted to create a choral foundation at Dulwich like the Chapel Royal and the Choir of Westminster Abbey. The Chapel Choir consists of the College’s current Choral Scholars who range from trebles in the Junior School to altos, tenors and basses from the Senior School.
