From Peterhouse Chapel Choir

'A quite exquisite recital...' St Mary's, Rotterdam

As well as the regular chapel services and annual tours, the Choir frequently visits cathedrals around the country. This gives an opportunity for the choir to be heard by a larger audience and for the choir to sing in new acoustics.
