A Choral Celebration Of Queen Mary II, Old Royal Naval College
Performed by Old Royal Naval College Trinity Laban Chapel Choir, The Royal Hospital Chelsea Chapel Choir and the Brandenburg Baroque Soloists.
The Chapel Choirs of the Old Royal Naval College and the Royal Hospital Chelsea combine forces in an historic celebration of the birthday of Queen Mary II (1662-1694).
Instrumental in the founding of the Old Royal Naval College in 1692, now the home of Trinity Laban, Queen Mary was on the throne when the Royal Hospital opened its doors to its Chelsea Pensioners that same year.

Choral Course 1: Royal Holloway
The Choral Courses are for singers aged between 16 - 21, many of who are considering University and other Choral Scholarships, but it is by no means a requirement and we welcome singers who just enjoy choral singing and want to improve.
All Choral Course participants make up the choir which prepares for three main performances or choral evensongs. Preparation for choral scholarships and advice on singing beyond school is given a high priority and there are sessions in sight-reading, aural tests and performance, alongside vocal master-classes, a cappella workshops and sessions with visiting conductors.
