Biography:
Schola Cantorum is the chamber choir of Ardingly College, a vocal ensemble that comprises around 24 singers. It includes pupils from all years in the Senior School and explores a wide variety of vocal genres from the Renaissance through to a cappella arrangements of contemporary popular numbers. Schola Cantorum consists of the strongest and most vocally mature singers in the College. Aside from their duties in the Chapel choir, they rehearse once a week in preparation for regular concerts both at the College and locally, alongside visits to Oxbridge colleges and prestigious cathedrals for Evensong and other services. Annually, there is a choir tour to European destinations, and in recent years the choir have toured Vienna, Prague and Malta and various UK cathedrals.
