Director of Music Andrew Nethsingha introduces a major step for equality of gender in choral singing
In a major move for equality of gender in choral singing, St John’s College, Cambridge has announced that both girl choristers and female undergraduates will join the choir from 2022.
St John’s is one of the world’s leading collegiate choirs, a beacon of choral excellence, and of both tradition and innovation, whether on record, online, through broadcasts and of course through daily services in the college chapel. Founded in the 1670s, the choir consists of around 20 choristers drawn from St John’s College School, who join from the age of eight, and around 16 adult choral scholars who are largely students at St John's College. These are currently all male.
