“The performance maintains its intensity until the end.”

David Threasher - Gramophone Magazine

“THANK YOU for the concert.  We both thought the quality of the music - the organ, the conductor, the trumpets - exemplified the fantastic English choral tradition.”

Professor and Mrs Robert Lethbridge, Master of Fitzwilliam College Cambridge.

The Molten Festival’s second Sunday lived up to expectations... Patrons were greeted by the East London Chorus singing the Hallelujah Chorus... the choir gave a remarkable performance of some much loved classical choral works.

Barking and Dagenham Post

“Last night at St Alfege’s church in Greenwich UK, our own Liz the Squeak soloed the Pié Jesu in a stunning rendition of the Fauré Requiem presented by the Choir of which she is a member. The East London Chorus gave a very sensitive and beautiful rendition of this wonderful piece of music. It was the Organ accompaniment version, rather than orchestra, and I felt that this (more spartan) approach made the choral work shine that bit more clear and bright.”

Micca - audience member

“I was very impressed with my first experience of your choir - excellent presentation and choral discipline and apparently total commitment on everybody’s part...  The Requiem in particular was really vital in Murray Stewart’s interpretation...”

John Nightingale, Director of South London Singers

“Richly rewarding musical fare”

Time Out

My wife and I were recently on holiday in London. Prior to our departure, I went on line to find an activity to keep us awake on the evening of our arrival from New York. I am an avocational singer, singing with the Oratorio Society of New York since 1980. Naturally, I thought a concert of choral music in a good venue would be ideal. The worst it could be was muddy, but a way to pass the time.  After an overnight flight, a day walking throughout London and dinner in the crypt, we took our seats in the church. When the sopranos made their first entrance sounding as if they were one person, I knew we were in for a treat. I cannot tell you how much we enjoyed your singing. The music was beautiful and alive, especially the Vivaldi Gloria. You made that old war horse exciting and vital.

Thank you for starting our time in London in a place of musical beauty.
