Bristol University’s most prestigious choir, University Singers perform a wide range of music from the Renaissance to present day to a professional standard.
The choir consists of around 28 singers from across the university and is directed by conductor, Elinor Cooper. University Singers perform regularly in Bristol and throughout the South West and are often involved with recording and performance collaborations with other ensembles including the BBC Singers and I Fagiolini, and regularly give premieres of new works by contemporary composers including Toby Young with whom they have collaborated on two Wellcome Trust funded inter-university projects.
