About us

Crouch End Festival Chorus is one of Britain's major symphonic choirs. Based in north London, the choir was founded in 1984 by David Temple and John Gregson, and David has remained as music director ever since, shaping the choir's progress as it built a fine reputation in the UK and internationally.

With some 150 singers on its books, Crouch End Festival Chorus is known for its versatility and eclectic repertoire, ranging from the traditional classical works to modern and specially-commissioned pieces.

The choir promotes its own concerts at major venues such as the Barbican Hall and Royal Festival Hall in London, while also celebrating its local roots with performances in Muswell Hill, Crouch End and Highgate (see concert calendar for upcoming performances). In addition, Crouch End Festival Chorus is in constant demand for recording work and external live promotions and appears regularly in the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall.
