The Choir of King’s College London is one of the leading university choirs in England. It consists of up to thirty Choral Scholars studying a variety of subjects.

For the second ‘Joy & Devotion’ Festival concert, The Choir of King’s College London performs a set of hymns by the contemporary Polish composer, Sławomir Czarnecki (b. 1949). Czarnecki is one of the most prolific contemporary choral composers, having won numerous international competitions for his work. At this concert, audiences can enjoy his Hymn in Honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Poland, which epitomises the special position the Virgin Mary occupies in Polish culture.

The ‘Joy & Devotion’ Festival brings the beauty of Polish sacred music to London audiences. A centuries’ old, storied tradition is brought to life in the sublime acoustic of St James’s Piccadilly as some of the foremost British choirs perform timeless music to uplift and inspire. Having taken place each year since 2021, the fourth edition of the Festival is a special, expanded edition which, for the first time, features four choirs rather than three.
