rom its foundation in 1988, the Joyful Company of Singers rapidly established itself as one of Europe’s leading chamber choirs.  Major prizes in competitions in the UK (Sainsbury's, Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod), France, Italy, Spain and Hungary have led to invitations to festivals in Russia, Denmark, Poland, Germany and the USA, as well as regular appearances in France and Italy.  In addition to regular concerts in London at all the major venues, the JCS has performed at many of the leading festivals in the UK, including the Aldeburgh, Bath, Cheltenham, City of London, Huddersfield Contemporary Music, Norfolk & Norwich, Swansea, Spitalfields Festival, the Three Choirs Festivals and the BBC Proms.

Most recently (August 2004) they have been awarded 1st prize in the Chamber Choir category of the Béla Bartók 21st International Choir Competition in Debrecen, Hungary. They also won a special prize for the best interpretation of a contemporary Hungarian composition.

The group rehearses once or twice a week in central London. If you would like further information about joining the JCS, please leave a contact on this website.
