The Choir of The Queen’s College, Oxford, is an ensemble steeped in tradition and excellence, hailing from one of the historic colleges of Oxford University in the United Kingdom. Founded in the 1340s, The Queen’s College has cultivated a choir that reflects the institution’s dedication to the highest standards of music and academic scholarship. Under the direction of exceptional choral conductors, the choir has garnered a reputation for its pure and refined sound, an achievement that resonates through the hallowed halls of the college's Baroque chapel where they routinely perform.

The Choir of The Queen’s College, Oxford, is renowned for its extensive repertoire, ranging from Gregorian chant to modern compositions. They have become particularly noted for their renditions of choral music from the Renaissance period, as evident in their performance of John Taverner's "Gloria Tibi Trinitas". Their discography frequently explores themes of spirituality and the divine, with works like "The House of the Mind", "A New Heaven", "Bring Us, O Lord God", and "And I Saw a New Heaven", exuding the profound and contemplative nature of choral music. The choir not only performs liturgical works within the context of college services but also extends their reach to audiences worldwide through recordings and concert tours, building bridges between traditional ecclesiastical music and contemporary audiences.
