Addison Chamber Choir is an auditioned group of around 30-35 singers who have sung at several regional festivals and played a leading role in both the Percy Grainger Festival at King’s Place in 2011 and the John Ireland Festival at St Luke’s, Chelsea in 2012. More recent performances have been given with the Gavin Bryars Ensemble at the London Festival if Contemporary Church Music and at the award-winning ‘Minimalism Unwrapped Festival’ at King’s Place, as well as at St Martin–in the-Fields and St Clement Danes, London.
The choir sings a wide repertoire and has given world/London premieres of works by composers as diverse as by Gabriel Jackson, Cecilia McDowall, Gavin Bryars, David Matthews, Patrick Hawes, Edwin Roxburgh and Howard Skempton amongst many others. Recent and forthcoming performances have included joining the Addison Oratorio Choir in Salzburg Cathedral, as well as concerts at St Martin-in-the-Fields, St John’s Smith Square, concerts on the Isle of Man and a 70th birthday tribute to Howard Skempton at King’s Place.
