Christ's College Chapel Choir is a mixed-voice ensemble based at Christ's College, Cambridge, England. Its raison d'etre is, as it has always been, to sing services in the College Chapel. Choral Evensong is sung on Thursday and Sunday Evenings during Full Term, and Choral Eucharist services take place on a less frequent basis. More generally, the Choir makes an important contribution to the life of the College, singing at feasts, weddings, memorial services and other occasions. Further to this, the group also pursues an exciting range of activities outside College, performing concerts in Cambridge and around the UK, recording CDs, and broadcasting.
