Brighton Festival Chorus was founded for the 1968 Brighton Festival by our first Music Director, László Heltay.  Walton&#39;s Belshazzar&#39;s Feast, with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by the composer himself, brought overnight success.  Today under our Music Director James Morgan, we are one of the most sought-after choirs in the UK.

We work with the most exciting conductors,  including Vladimir Ashkenazy, Sir Andrew Davis, Edward Gardner, John Wilson and Roderick Cox, and with the world’s leading orchestras including the BBC Concert Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Philharmonia Orchestra and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. We have performed with the finest soloists and supported artists such as Armstrong &amp; Miller, Katherine Jenkins, Dame Edna Everage, Chris de Burgh and Alfie Boe.
 
We work on new commissions and film soundtrack performances like Eisensten’s Alexander Nevsky and Olivier’s Henry V.  We enjoy off-book and semi-staged performances, amongst them Bach’s St. John Passion, Britten’s War Requiem and Elgar’s Dream of Gerontius. 
 
We were Grammy-nominated for Janáček&#39;s Glagolitic Mass and Tippett&#39;s A Child of Our Time under Andre Previn. Debussy&#39;s Le Martyre de Saint Sébastien was awarded ‘Le Choc’ by Le Monde de la Musique. We worked on the commemorative album for Dame Vera Lynn’s 100th birthday in 2017, which won a Classical Brit.
Our regular commercial work, has recently included Walkers Crisps, Loewe and Pete Townshend.
