The Girls' Choir
The Pembroke College Girls' Choir launched in September 2018 and brings together girls between the ages of 11-18 from schools around Cambridge, helping them experience life as a chorister in a Cambridge College.
The Choir focuses on musical excellence, performing at a professional level on a weekly basis alongside regular concerts and tours.
Recording
The Choirs are thrilled to be signed to Signum Records, with their debut album "All Things Are Quite Silent" released in September 2020 to critical acclaim, and with further recordings to come. More details about our recording work, and information about future releases can be found on our Releases page.
Alongside the more traditional repertoire of a chapel choir, Pembroke enjoys a special focus on contemporary choral music and views the popularisation and appreciation of contemporary composers as an important part of its mission.
