The London Oriana Choir is one of Britain’s leading amateur choral groups. Under the baton of Musical Director Dominic Peckham since 2013, the choir has gone from strength to strength, performing music from classical baroque to classic rock at venues such as the O2 Arena, St Martin in the Fields and the Royal Albert Hall. Recent highlights include the recording and performance of Pete Townshend’s Classic Quadrophenia, working with Alfie Boe, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Robert Ziegler, and of course Pete himself; supporting Barbra Streisand in her Barbra Live concert series at the O2; and working with Robert Plant for the BBC Electric Proms. A diverse group of amateur singers aged from 20 to 70, the London Oriana Choir has peformed in all of London’s top venues and is regularly invited to perform at corporate events, festivals and private receptions, notably including Mikhail Gorbachev’s 80th birthday party at Hampton Court Palace. The choir has commissioned and premiered new works from young composers such as Toby Young and has released world premiere recordings of Kenneth Leighton’s Nativitie and Henry Walford Davies’ Everyman. The choir’s repertoire is broad, ranging from the great choral and orchestral works by Verdi, Brahms, Mozart, Handel and Bach to contemporary commissions. A cappella music is sung in many languages and in all styles from early Renaissance to the present day, from secular to sacred, classical to jazz and including popular and folk music from around the world. The choir is often accompanied by professional orchestras and has performed with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, BBC Concert Orchestra, Brandenburg Sinfonia and the London Mozart Players.
