The Rodolfus Choir -
The Rodolfus Choir is made up of
singers between the ages of 16 and 25 chosen from members of the Eton Choral
Courses. The five Courses attract over 300 students each year, and of these
a dozen or so are invited to join the Rodolfus Choir as places become
vacant. Many of the singers are choral scholars, several are at music
college, some are still at school, and many hope to make their careers in
music.
Many of the singers are choral scholars, several are at music college, some are still
at school, and many hope to make their career in music. Since its foundation in 1983
the choir has toured France, Italy and Austria and has appeared at several important
English Festivals: at Windsor, Liverpool Cathedral, Harrogate, Norwich (for the Festival
of Contemporary Church Music), and twice at the Three Choirs Festival in Gloucester.
Their second CD, of choral music by Bax and Villette, has attracted excellent reviews.
