The Choir of Royal Holloway
The Choir of Royal Holloway has attained standards of musicianship and technical refinement high above the reach of most student ensembles.
The Choir of Royal Holloway and Music Director Rupert Gough ensure that Oxbridge ensembles don't have it all their own way when it comes to great university choirs.
