I’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, and singing in Chapel three or five times a week can provide an amazing escape from the stresses of Cambridge life.

I’ve had some incredible experiences, including touring Romania, singing Handel’s Messiah at the Barbican, and broadcasting live on BBC Radio 3. I’ve also made lifelong friends and developed a new understanding and appreciation of choral music and music-making generally. I’d recommend it to anyone who’s thinking of applying!
