Accomplished, ambitious and friendly, the New Cambridge Singers offer an energetic outlook, combining a rich and mature sound with delicacy and intimacy.​​

We aim for excellence in all that we do and relish our innovative programming, performing a wide range of music from the Renaissance to the present day. The New Cambridge Singers are also committed to, and have a strong tradition of, the commissioning and performance of new works.
​
 
Alongside our concerts in historic venues across Cambridge, we are proud to bring our music to the surrounding villages and towns as well as supporting local and national charities through our ​music making.​

During the Autumn term the choir will be directed by Tim Brown. Tim founded New Cambridge Singers in 1986 and is the choir's President. In 2010, after 30 years in the role, he retired as Director of Music at Clare College, and became Visiting Director of the choir of Robinson College, Cambridge. Until recently he has been conducting the choir at St Botolph's, Cambridge.

We are very pleased that Tim has agreed to direct the choir in the period up to and including the Christmas concerts, before James Potter takes over as Director in January 2024.

We have had a letter from CPSL Mind following the Big Sing:
On behalf of everyone at CPSL Mind, I would like to say a huge thank you for the second financial installment of £4,865 from the Big Sing 2019, making a grand total of £8,101.68!!! This is an amazing amount to have raised and we are simply overwhelmed by your support. As requested, this donation will be used for our Sanctuary service, helping local people in mental health crisis. Last year the Sanctuary received 1,857 visits from people needing practical and emotional support and this year we expect the demand to be just as high, so your support really does help a lot.
Many thanks again for choosing us as your charity 
"Last night’s concert was a triumph for the New Cambridge Singers but also for amateur choral singing.  I wrote you a piece without musical compromises.  I wrote exactly what I wanted to hear, and you responded magnificently." Giles Swayne, April 2017
