Mixed choir comprising around thirty choral scholars and two organ scholars, most of whom are undergraduates of the College, under a Director of Music. The choir has taken various forms since its foundation in the fourteenth century, and has existed in its present form since 1982 when, shortly after the admission of girls to the University of Cambridge, female voices were used for the first time for the choir’s top lines. In January 2011, Gramophone magazine named the choir the fifth best choir in the world.The current director of music is Stephen Layton, who succeeded Richard Marlow in September 2006. Former directors include, amongst others, Raymond Leppard and Charles Villiers Stanford.
