The Choir’s activities were extended further in 2004 by the creation of the Choir of London Orchestra. In addition to bringing an instrumental dimension to Choir of London performances, this chamber orchestra has greatly enriched the Choir’s outreach and educational work, with instrumental workshops and masterclasses now a regular feature of Choir of London projects. Players are drawn from several of the UK’s leading orchestras and chamber ensembles.
As well as appearing alongside the Choir, members of the Choir of London Orchestra also perform independently. During the 2007 Palestine Mozart Festival staged in the West Bank and Jerusalem, string players from the Orchestra took part in a series of chamber concerts, including two performances alongside internationally-renowned pianist Saleem Abboud Ashkar.
