Islington Choral Society


Islington Choral Society is a diverse and friendly group of people who share three things: an enjoyment of choral music, a desire to perform it well and a sense of identity with their fellow choir members.

Come and sing with us!

We extend a warm invitation to anyone who might like to join us – if you are interested, please come along! Seasoned choral performers and first-time singers will be made equally welcome. Come to any rehearsal and try us out. No audition is required.

Come and hear us!

Islington Choral Society performs three times a year at a range of venues, mostly within the Borough of Islington. From old favourites like Handel's Messiah to new challenges like Fanshawe's African Sanctus, from Rutter's soaring Gloria to Mendelssohn's majestic Elijah, from the peace of Fauré's Requiem to the liveliness of Orff's Carmina Burana, our repertoire is varied and exciting.
