The choir
London Oriana Choir is one of Britain’s leading choral groups and one of the most exciting and versatile in London with a rich history of performances and recordings.
​
From baroque to rock, sacred to secular, a cappella or accompanied in venues great and small in London, around the UK and abroad, we welcome you to listen, support and join us in making and appreciating great music.
​
In 2016, the choir launched its five15 initiative in support of women composers, a five year project which included increased programming, commissions, recordings and much more.
​
In the 2023/24 season the choir celebrated its 50th Anniversary with events including a Gala concert, new album release and collaborations with The Gesualdo Six.
