The Choir of Clare College, Cambridge, has established itself as one of the foremost mixed-voice choirs in the UK and beyond. Its history dates back to 1971, when it was founded as a mixed-voice ensemble at Clare College, which is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Cambridge. Throughout the years, the choir has been known for its distinctive sound, versatility, and innovative approach to choral music under the guidance of a series of distinguished directors. The current director of music, Graham Ross, has furthered this reputation since 2010, leading the choir in a range of performances from traditional choral repertoires to more contemporary and avant-garde compositions.

The Choir's focus is not only on performance but also on education and outreach, frequently touring across the globe and participating in music festivals and competitions. They have a rich discography that demonstrates their breadth in style and erudition in both religious and secular choral music. Recent releases such as "Rolling River: American Choral" and "Ice Land: The Eternal Music" showcase their adept handling of modern American compositions, while albums like "Britten: A Ceremony of Carols / Choral Works by Ireland, Bridge & Holst" attest to their proficiency with classic British choral literature. Their recordings often feature collaborations with notable composers of our time, including Nico Muhly and Caroline Shaw, further cementing their role as ambassadors of contemporary choral music.
