Welcome to Harrow School

Choral Society

Media Elements

The Choral Society comes together in the Spring term of each year to rehearse and perform large-scale choral works with orchestra and professional soloists. Every year there are usually about 150 boys singing alongside parents, teachers, friends and members of the local community. It is a great opportunity for so many boys to experience this type of repertoire. Senior instrumentalists will find themselves in the orchestra, so nearly a quarter of the School usually performs.

Director of Music, David Woodcock, conducts the Choral Society.
