Collegium Musicum of London is also available for hire – either to give a concert as part of a festival, to provide one-off concert programmes, or to sing for functions.

Festival appearance or full concert package

A full choir (of 25 singers) can be hired to sing the repertoire of your choice, although, for full programmes such as these, the choir will need at least six months’ notice so that rehearsal slots can be organised, singers can be booked, and repertoire can be rehearsed.

Christmas Carol concerts

A full choir (of 25 singers) can be hired to provide the musical elements of a Christmas carol concert – to support the audience in the singing of ‘mainstream’ carols, and/or to sing choir-only carols. The choir also has considerable experience of such events, and would be happy to help plan them, and to suggest appropriate music and readings. Notice of such engagements needs to be given by 1 September at the latest.

Music for functions package (e.g. Christmas parties, formal dinners)

Either the full choir (25 singers) or a reduced choir (no fewer than 8 singers) can be hired for smaller functions, involving a more limited range of repertoire (e.g. Christmas music or madrigals). Notice of at least one month needs to be given for these engagements.

Fees

Fees are negotiable, but begin at £600. An appropriate contract will be drawn up for each engagement.

'The choir was wonderful - I have had a number of emails from congregation members saying how much they enjoyed the final carol - and you held the evening together brilliantly. It ran like clockwork.. The evening has raised over £35,000 towards our work, far exceeding our expectations. A truly great achievement.'

Emma Blanksby - Children & The Arts

'To all in the choir of the Collegium Musicum of London, thank you for your help at the carol concert before Christmas in aid of my Foundation for Children & the Arts. The event was, by all accounts, a great success and this was due in no small part to your wonderful performance.'
