Graham Ross, Leitung

The Choir of Clare College
has gained an international reputation as one of the world’s leading university choirs. In addition to its primary function of leading services three times a week in the College chapel, the Choir keeps an active schedule recording, broadcasting, and performing. Former directors have included John Rutter and Timothy Brown. Under the direction of Graham Ross, Director of Music since 2010, it has been praised for its consistently ‘thrilling’ and ‘outstanding’ performances worldwide.

The Choir has toured widely, including in the United States of America, Australia, Japan, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Russia, the Middle East and mainland Europe. It has collaborated with The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment in performances of Handel’s Messiah with Graham Ross and Jephtha with René Jacobs, with the Australian Chamber Orchestra in Beethoven’s Symphony no.9, with the London Philharmonic Orchestra in Mahler’s Symphony no.8 and the world première of Alexander Raskatov’s Green Mass with Vladimir Jurowski, with the Philharmonia Orchestra in Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius at the Royal Festival Hall conducted by Sir Mark Elder, and with many other ensembles including the Academy of Ancient Music, the European Union Baroque Orchestra, the Freiburger Barockorchester, the Israel Camerata, Aurora Orchestra, the Schubert Ensemble and the Dmitri Ensemble.

In addition to live performances, the Choir has produced an impressive discography of more than forty recordings.

The Choir’s ongoing series of Music for the Church Year has received numerous five-star reviews in the national and international press.
