We were delighted recently to commission film-maker Ian Skelly to produce a short film about the choir as it passes the 60th anniversary of its founding and approaches an exciting new phase. We hope you enjoy meeting a few of us and experiencing a snapshot of a top London choir doing what it loves best. A subtitled version is available here.

New Membership Secretary Jen Withington knows a thing or two about choir membership: she has loved singing soprano with the City of London Choir for 31 years and considers Monday evenings one of the highlights of her week. She says that though she has lived in various parts of the UK and tried several other choirs for size, they’ve never quite measured up to CLC.

Being a member of such a mighty choir as the CLC is a joy

As the choir approaches the end of another full and busy season, Daniel Mansfield has just announced his retirement as Chairman of the City of London Choir. Dan joined the choir's committee within a few months of joining the choir, some thirty years ago, so his 'return to the backbenches' of the bass section will in fact be something of a novelty. On the choir's behalf, fellow trustee Chris Matthews presented presented him with an olive tree to thank him for so many years of

We were deeply saddened by the passing of our patron, Humphrey Burton, in December 2025. A generous supporter of the City of London Choir, he shared his extraordinary love and knowledge of music with all who knew him, inspiring audiences and performers alike. Through his brilliant career as a broadcaster, producer, and writer, he brought classical music and the arts into countless homes, shaping the way generations experienced and understood music.
