St Cecilia's Evening

Please note that the time of the event is 6pm.

The Choir of Royal Holloway is pleased to announce the return of its annual St Cecilia Evening, a concert at 6pm on Saturday 18th November to celebrate the Patron Saint of Music.

This year, it’s our pleasure to invite alumni choral scholars to the College, for an abridged version of Handel’s ‘Messiah’, complete with a small chamber ensemble.

In the first half of the concert, our current scholars will be singing a selection of Ola Gjeilo’s music, covering repertoire from ‘Winter Songs’ and our latest release, ’Dreamweaver’.

Earlier on in the day, a memorial service will be held in the Chapel for Robbie Bowering, a choral scholar alumnus who recently passed away.

The structure of the day will be as follows:

12:00-13:00 Memorial Service for Robbie Bowering in the Chapel

18:00 - c. 19:45 Concert

19:45 - c. 20:15 Reception in the Picture Gallery

If you're a Choir of Royal Holloway alumni interested in singing, please email choraladmin@rhul.ac.uk for more information.
