Our choir singing the 17th century hymn, Drop, drop slow tears, by Orlando Gibbons in our beautiful chapel. Queen’s has had an active choir since its founding in 1888. The first Master, E. H. Sugden himself was a choir boy and conductor. Today, the choir performs in various contexts including, formal dinners, receptions, alumni events, chapel services, and concerts. Choral Scholarships are available and auditions are open throughout the year. If you are interested in joining the choir you can contact the Director of Music, Will Fellows at will.fellows@queens.unimelb.edu.au. Thanks to Benjamin Gunthorpe (sound engineer) and Nick Campbell (videographer) for helping record this performance. (fb)
