London Concord Singers was founded by Malcolm Cottle in 1966 and so the choir's archive spans some 60 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.
