On the platform
The Chapel Choir is engaged in concert work both in and around Glasgow, and further afield.
Within the University, they regularly join with the University Choral Society to perform large-scale works such as Elgar’s The Apostles, Bernstein's Chichester Psalms and Haydn's Creation.
Under the direction of Professor John Butt, one of the foremost authorities on Bach, the Choir have particpated in authentic performances of Bach's St. John Passion and B minor Mass.
Along with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, conducted by their own Musical Director James Grossmith, the Choir premiered Ronald Stevenson's Praise of Ben Dorain at the Celtic Connections festival in January 2008. In a further collaboration with the BBC SSO in September 2008, they performed Beethoven's 9th Symphony in the opening concerts of the orchestra's new season in Glasgow and Aberdeen.
In May and June 2009, the Choir presented a summer series of three concerts in the University Chapel. Further details can be found under Events.
