Choir of Clare College, Cambridge

For the next one hundred years the choir consisted of undergraduate lower voices and a treble line provided by boys from city schools.

An organ scholarship is awarded as necessary to ensure that there are always two undergraduate organists in the college—a new scholar is appointed to arrive when the previous one graduates.

Apart from sacred music sung mostly in choral evensong services, the choir also performs a wide range of music, including works by Toby Hession, Graham Ross, Sir John Tavener, Jonathan Dove, Herbert Howells, Tarik O'Regan, John Rutter, Giles Swayne (the college's former composer in residence) and James Whitbourn.

In recent years, the choir has toured throughout Europe, the US, the Middle East, Australia and Asia, usually between university terms.

Previous tours have included: The choir has recorded extensively,[9] now exclusively for the Harmonia Mundi USA label.
