Biography
In addition to its choral duties in the New College chapel, the New College Choir has established a reputation as one of the finest Anglican choirs in the world - Gramaphone Magazine recently named it as one of the top 20 choirs of any type in the World - and is known particularly for its performances of Renaissance and Baroque music. Some seventy recordings of the choir are still in the catalogue and as well as appearing a number of times at the BBC Proms, the choir make numerous concert tours.
In 1997, the choir won a Gramophone Award in the Best-selling disc category for their album Agnus Dei, and in 2008, they won a Gramophone Award in the Early Music category for their recording of Nicholas Ludford's Missa Benedicta.[18] Edward Higginbottom, Organist and Tutor in Music at New College, has been made Oxford University’s first Choral Professor.
