The Chapel Choir of Pembroke College, Cambridge

In addition to its liturgical duties at Pembroke College, Cambridge, the Pembroke College Chapel Choir cultivates a broad range of concert endeavors and outreach efforts. Choral music has been heard at the Pembroke College Chapel ever since its founding in 1665 by the architect Christopher Wren, whose uncle, Matthew Wren, had been held in the Tower of London and resolved, if he were ever released, to provide Pembroke with a chapel of its own. Names of choristers can be seen in the wooden singers' desks in the chapel. Since the appointment of Anna Lapwood as Director of Music in 2016, the choir has dramatically expanded its activities. The choir released its debut album, All Things Are Quite Silent, in 2020 and returned, joined by the Pembroke College Girls' Choir, with the album A Pembroke Christmas in 2022.
