The choir of Her Majesty's Chapel Royal has a long history and strong reputation.

The choir still sings the weekly service in the Chapel Royal or the Queen's Chapel and at other events as commanded by The Queen. These include the annual Royal Maundy service, the Remembrance Day Parade at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, and, in recent years, the funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother at Westminster Abbey and the Golden Jubilee Service at St Paul's Cathedral.

The choir consists of six Gentlemen-in-Ordinary, who are professional singers, and ten children of the Chapel, boy choristers who hold scholarships at City of London School.

The Organist and Choirmaster at the Chapel Royal, Dr Andrew Gant, is always glad to hear from potential chorister applicants; visit his web site for more information or contact him on tel: 020 7930 4832.
