The Girl Choristers of Merton College, Oxford, are a groundbreaking ensemble formed in 2007 as part of Merton College Choir, one of Oxford’s oldest choral foundations. They made history as the first mixed-gender choir in the university’s 800-year tradition, blending their voices with the college’s adult male singers during services at the stunning medieval chapel. Directed by Benjamin Nicholas, the group has become known for its polished performances of sacred music, spanning centuries-old hymns, modern compositions, and Christmas classics.
Their recordings, like *In the Stillness: A Merton Christmas* and *Hymns from Merton*, showcase their signature blend of warmth and clarity, often featuring descants by legends like David Willcocks and fresh arrangements of carols. Whether singing evensong, touring internationally, or dropping tracks like *The Little Road to Bethlehem*, these choristers balance scholarly rigor with pure, uplifting sound—proof that tradition and progress can harmonize beautifully.
