The University of King’s College Chapel Choir comprises 24 singers from across Canada who study at King’s College and Dalhousie University and a handful of non-student Layclerks who act as mentors for the student choristers. The choir offers choral and organ scholarships to eligible students, and the choir’s primary function is to sing at the weekly Evensongs and Eucharists in the King’s College Chapel, as well as other major services throughout the academic year. Directed by five-time Grammy winner Paul Halley since 2007, the choir has become well-known for its annual King’s at the Cathedral concert series, which includes a major performance for All Saints (For All The Saints), a December tour of Christmas concerts (A King’s Christmas), and performances of a Baroque masterwork each spring with instrumentalists and soloists from North America and Europe. The choir’s performances have been broadcast nationally on CBC Radio 2, and featured in CBC Music’s top picks of choral events to attend across Canada. The choir’s CD, Let Us Keep the Feast: Music for the Church Year, was released in December 2013 to launch the University of King’s College 225th anniversary year and received the Outstanding Choral Recording Award from Choral Canada.
