Hertfordshire
Chorus

Under the musical direction of David Temple MBE,
our members believe in the sheer joy and power of music
to bring people closer together.
One of the UK’s finest symphonic choirs,
we are known for commissioning new music,
high-quality yet passionate singing
and for tackling difficult, rarely performed music
as well as much-loved and well-known pieces.

The Armed Man
Our spine-tingling new recording of the ensemble version of The Armed Man – A Mass for Peace by Karl Jenkins has now been released.

Nova! Nova! Joy to the World!
Available now, our critically acclaimed album of 23 beautiful new arrangements of well-known carols by Louis Halsey.


Hertfordshire Chorus TV is
series of short conversations between our musical director David Temple and performers and composers who have strong connections with the Chorus. Their fascinating stories are interwoven with clips from past recordings and photos.

…What a brilliant choir you are — so incisive, confident and expressive and all round plain musical and, with the BBC Concert Orchestra, I don’t expect to hear a better live performance anywhere…

Britten Ballad of Heroes; Bliss Morning Heroes. Watford Colosseum

…In many ways, the concert reflected the huge contribution Hertfordshire Chorus has made to modern choral music.

… Put simply, it was the finest performance of The Kingdom that I have ever heard, or can ever hope to hear… this was the real Elgar, and a performance of The Kingdom of which everyone involved can be immensely proud.

Elgar The Kingdom. St Albans Cathedral

A truly inspirational evening…The whole programme was a delight… Hertfordshire Chorus suggested to me last year .. that they can hold their own against any choir in the land. This year at the Royal Festival Hall my view was confirmed.
