The Choir of New College Oxford is part of the collegiate foundation of New College, Oxford, established by William of Wykeham in 1379.[1] It is one of England's oldest choral foundations and is the oldest of its kind in Oxford and Cambridge, predating its sister college in Cambridge by more than sixty years. Consisting of approximately 16 boys and 14 men, it is one of the main choral foundations of the University of Oxford and is regarded as one of the leading choirs of the world. Under Edward Higginbottom, the choir was characterised by a robust sound that allowed individual voices to be heard,[1] and has two Gramophone Awards to its name.
