Ben
Choral Scholar
Read moreI’ve had an amazing time singing at Jesus over my four years in College. It’s been an absolutely central part of my university experience, and has helped me grow as a student, a musician, and a person. The Chapel and Choir community is friendly, supportive, and diverse, and the high musical standard means that singing at Jesus is the perfect balance of challenging and rewarding. It’s a great way to be really involved with college life, from matriculation evensong at the start of the year to graduation at the end...

Annie
Choral Scholar
Read moreI have had a wonderful first year singing in Jesus College Choir. The choir’s friendly atmosphere is the antithesis of preconceptions of Cambridge choirs as competitive and hostile.

Having never sung chapel music before coming to Cambridge, I was nervous about how easily I would settle in and yet both the Director of Music and other, more experienced choir members guided me through my first weeks until...

I’ve taken part in some really exciting projects despite COVID disruption, with highlights including three performances of...

Luis
Chapel clerk
Read moreMy time in Cambridge has been full of exciting moments, good memories, and amazing people. When I first embarked on postgraduate studies, I never imagined I would be becoming part of the Chapel community at Jesus College. However, after my first attendance to an evensong I decided I wanted to take an active role in what for me was a complete new experience; even when I had always been an active member of my church back at home, Jesus College Chapel was an enthralling environment in which other people like...
