2007-2008 Concert Season
Now truly one of Europe's best regarded amateur choirs, London Oriana Choir soars to new heights during its 2007-2008 season. Between CD recordings with the BBC Concert Orchestra and invited performances in all of London's top venues: Royal Albert Hall, Barbican (with our friend, US singer-songwriter Beth Nielsen-Chapman), St Paul's Cathedral and the newly re-opened Royal Festival Hall, we've managed to squeeze in a few concerts of our own at wonderful venues such as St Martin-in-the-Fields, Southwark Cathedral and St Peter's Eaton Square.
Add our annual tour in May, and you have yet another stunning Oriana season!
