It is unique in the range and quality of its performances, performing a distinctive variety of large-scale music including commissions and premieres, and reaching huge numbers through regular broadcasts on BBC Radio 3 and on BBC TV. Under the leadership of chorus director Neil Ferris, the chorus has reached new artistic heights and continues to perform regularly at the BBC Proms (including the First and Last Nights), at the Barbican, and at BBC Maida Vale Studios, with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and other leading orchestras. The chorus is formed of nearly 200 volunteer singers who sing at the highest level on the concert platform and in the recording studio. In recent years the chorus’s recordings have received plaudits at the Gramophone Awards and BBC Music Magazine Awards. It has performed a huge range of music, from cornerstones of the repertoire by Beethoven, Mahler and Elgar to large-scale works by Dame Ethel Smyth and José Maurício Nunes Garcia.
