Crouch End Festival Chorus has a reputation nationally and internationally for its versatility. Our music director David Temple and singers are experienced in tackling a varied repertoire – from major classical works and opera to rock music and TV and film soundtracks.
The choir has been hired to appear on a wide range of recordings: for albums, movies, commercials & global advertising campaigns and television.
Since our first recordings with Silva Screen Records in the 1990s, we have worked with leading performers such as Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Sir Ray Davies, Travis, The Divine Comedy, Alfie Boe, Katherine Jenkins, Lesley Garrett, Kate Royal and Sarah Brightman.
We have recorded TV soundtracks for BBC's Dr Who (Murray Gold) and Amazon Prime's Good Omens (David Arnold). Movie soundtrack recordings include Rocketman (Giles Martin/Matthew Margeson), Arsène Lupin (Debbie Wiseman), The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (Joby Talbot), Azur et Azmar and 1408 (Gabriel Yared), Journey 3D (Andrew Lockington), and Prince Caspian (Harry Gregson-Williams).
We have made classical music recordings of Philip Glass, Paul Patterson and Will Todd. In 2017 we recorded Bach's St John Passion in English with Chandos Records to considerable critical acclaim.
