Orlando Gibbons & the madrigal tradition

Our Summer concert till take place in the lovely City church of St Vedast alias Foster on Friday 11 July 2025. Our new music director, Gerard Lim will be conducting a programme that commemorates the 400th anniversary of Orlando Gibbons with music by Gibbons including O Clap Your Hands and The Cries of London, plus music by Byrd, Tallis and Farrant along with contemporary London-based composers Jack Redman and Will Harmer, and picking up the later madrigal tradition with music by Pearsall and Rubbra.

Welcoming our new music director, Gerard Lim

From January 2025, we are delighted that Gerard Lim will be taking over as our new music director. Gerard recently obtained an MMus in choral conducting at the Royal Academy of Music, under Patrick Russill, graduating with distinction, and a DipRAM in the final recital. Gerard was the Alec Robertson conducting scholar at Westminster Cathedral in his final year at the Academy. Prior to moving to the UK, Gerard was director of music for St. Joseph Church (Bukit Timah) for nine years, conducting for several masses for the Archdiocese of Singapore. He is co-founder and co-artistic director Chroma, which is a collective of singers who seek to present thematic choral programmes, based in Singapore. Read more about Gerard

London Concord Singers' Archive

London Concord Singers was founded by Malcolm Cottle in 1966 and so the choir's archive spans some 56 years. Thanks to one of our members, this archive has been digitised and is available to browse on our Archive page. Here you can see which works we have performed, and where, along with looking at early concert programmes and posters.
