The music was sublime, at times I literally had goosebumps. We felt uplifted and restored.
William Byrd - Civitas Sancti Tui

Who We Are
Founded in 1999 and led by Andrew Campling, Thames Chamber Choir is an East London choral ensemble that rehearses and stages several concerts and events each year in London and across Britain.
A vibrant and sociable group of around 20 singers, we are based in Stepney and focus on a principally a cappella repertoire of early, renaissance and modern music.
We also sing liturgically and are available for hire.
Kerry Andrew - Archbishop Parker's Psalm 150
