Invicta Voices is one of London’s leading a cappella chamber choirs. Originally formed primarily from University of Kent alumni choral scholars, the choir have established themselves as a versatile and high-quality group. They perform a vast array of vocal music, ranging from traditional choral polyphony to European premieres of new music by leading contemporary composers.

The singers come from all walks of life, including; teachers, musicians, lawyers, consultants and TV producers to name just a few. Although they have a diverse range of backgrounds, they are all united in their shared passion for music and choral singing. Since Invicta’s inception in 2014, they have performed at many prestigious venues across the UK and Europe including; The House of Lords, The Gresham Centre, Arundel Cathedral, Kings Place and Canterbury Cathedral as well as performing on tour in Leichlingen, Germany.

The choir is very fortunate to have a wonderful relationship with our rehearsal venue, St Margaret Pattens.

Invicta Voices is proudly affiliated to the Eureka! Foundation.
