What an exciting term we had, with our wonderful summer concert in King’s College Chapel and a visit by members of Tenebrae Choir.

Our autumn term will see the birth of a new choir, KJV Youth Choir for boys and girls in years 10-13.

Another successful KJV year

KJV has kept its membership singing throughout the pandemic with weekly rehearsals on Zoom, or more recently, with blended rehearsals with a roster of singers attending either live rehearsals or at home on Zoom. We can’t wait until we can also return to live concerts, hopefully next term!
