The Royal Choral Society

Prestigious British Choir Ensemble

The Royal Choral Society is a prestigious choir based in the United Kingdom with a rich history dating back to its founding in 1871. It was established for the purpose of performing at the first Royal Albert Hall choral concert and has since become one of the UK's most renowned choirs. The society has performed at numerous significant events and venues, often under the baton of distinguished conductors. While it is not specifically known for producing albums in the rock genre, the Royal Choral Society has a diverse repertoire that spans classical, oratorio, and contemporary works. They have been involved in performances and recordings of major choral pieces, including Handel's "Messiah," which they traditionally perform annually during the Christmas season at the Royal Albert Hall. The choir's contribution to British choral music remains significant, with a commitment to high standards of performance and a role in promoting choral singing within the community.
