Inter Alios’ is the de facto chapel choir at Churchill.
Inter Alios is the joint choir of Churchill and Murray Edwards Colleges. The choir perform every Sunday of term, alternating between an Anglican Evensong in the Chapel at Churchill and a unique ‘Music & Words’ event in the Dome in Murray Edwards, which combines choral music, poetry and a short address. ‘Inter Alios’ translates as ‘among others’ and speaks to our collective spirit: inter-faith, international, and ‘into’ all music! In our programming we seek to juxtapose well-known choral works with contemporary repertoire, particularly music by women composers.
Our annual schedule includes trips to perform in nearby cathedrals and other short trips or significant performances. Within College we perform additional concerts most terms, occasionally making recordings, and singing at important feasts – dining free on high table at least once per term at each college. In recent years highlighted have included performing the Mozart and Fauré Requiems and a Schubert mass with a small orchestra.

The choir welcomes singers with a wide range of experience. We hold Rehearsal Trials at the start of term to gauge suitability of our un-auditioned members. We also have an auditioned chamber choir at our core, which includes Choral Scholars from both colleges. Choral Scholars take on additional leadership roles within the choir and are supported with vocal lessons.
To join the choir and/or audition for a Choral Scholarship or place in the Chamber choir, please email Dr Ewan Campbell ([email protected]) with details of your voice type and singing experience.
