Coloma Convent Girls' School has had a strong tradition in music for many years but especially in the field of choral music. The school choir consists of 450 (there are about 1,000 girls in the school) and the Senior Chamber Choir is taken from this main school choir.

The girls have an extremely varied repertoire and have performed works such as the War Requiem and Ceremony of Carols by Britten, Faure’s Requiem and Carmina Burana, Mozart's Requiem and the Spring Symphony by Britten.

Coloma is now a music specialist school and in the Coloma Festival held this summer in the Fairfield Halls, the girls sang arrangements of West Side Story and CATS. They sing everything from Palestrina to Bernstein as well as Jazzy numbers which are choreographed and danced to. They perform at the Fairfield Halls in Croydon frequently and recently sang at St. Mark's in Venice and the Duomo in Florence whilst on tour in Italy.

They will sing at Westminster Cathedral on 12th December and another tour is planned to Spain this summer. Next spring, they will perform The Messiah.

Their director, Hilary Meyer, is Head of Music at the school and Gillian Hope is their accompanist.

In How Music Works, the Coloma Senior Chamber Choir perform Lord, let me know mine end by Maurice Greene, arranged by Howard Goodall and Peter Gregson on cello.
