About

The St Catharines Girls Choir, Cambridge, with director Edward Wickham, celebrate ten years since their foundation with this album of works for upper voices. In marking the momentous occasion in 2008 when St Catharines created the first college-based girls choir, the current choristers of this acclaimed group present a varied programme of secular works from British composers including Britten, Bennett and a world premiere by Sally Beamish.

Awards and reviews

November 2018

This splendid CD celebrates the 10th anniversary of the foundation of St Catharine’s Girls’ Choir, Cambridge, the first college-based girls’ choir. They have come a long way in the last decade under their director Edward Wickham, and the evidence of this CD shows what an exceptionally skilful and versatile group they are.

December 2018

The Girls’ Choir of St Catharine’s College, Cambridge, have garnered well-deserved plaudits for the conviction, warmth and immaculate control in their singing under their founder, Edward Wickham. All these qualities are present in abundance on this new disc…Skempton’s timeless and tireless Five Poems of Mary Webb are a masterclass in triadic writing and should be heard by every serious student of harmony. The balance between the three parts is excellent…One hopes that this talented group will explore further the riches of the pre-war English repertory.
