London Oriana Choir (www.londonoriana.com) is one of Britain’s leading choral groups and one of the most exciting and versatile in London. Founded in 1973, and under the baton of Dominic Ellis-Peckham since 2013, the choir has gone from strength to strength, performing music from classical baroque to classic rock at venues such as the O2 Arena, Queen Elizabeth Hall and the Royal Albert Hall, with broadcasts on BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio 4 and Classic FM. The choir has also worked with some of the world’s leading artists including Sir Thomas Allen, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Robert Plant, Barbra Streisand, Alfie Boe, Pete Townshend and Madonna. In April 2016, the choir launched five15 (www.five15.org), a five year programme (extended to six due to the pandemic) to promote women composers through commissioning fifteen new works, concert programming, workshops, recordings and other activities. The Composers-in-Residence were Cheryl Frances-Hoad, Rebecca Dale, Jessica Curry, Anna Disley-Simpson and Hannah Kendall. The choir celebrates its 50th Anniversary in the 2023/24 season with events including release of the Her Voice album of five15 project commissions, a gala concert at St John's Smith Square London with special guest Beth Nielsen Chapman, and a collaboration with award-winning a capella group The Gesualdo Six at the Union Chapel London on 4th July 2024.
