ABOUT US

Welcome to the family! We are Absolute Harmony, Royal Holloway’s very own A Cappella vocal group and reigning Society of the Year!

We perform diverse, original arrangements of chart hits and classics alike! This year’s arrangements included artists like Hozier, Billy Ocean, Panic! At The Disco and Bon Jovi along with many more! Absolutely no experience is necessary and we perform in six parts: Soprano, Mezzo, Alto, Tenor, Bass and Beatbox. If you’re unsure of your vocal part, pop along and we’ll help you find where you belong!

Our smaller, auditioned choir Hardcore Harmony compete at national level, tackling extra technical arrangements and incorporating choreography into performances. Come and try out if you’re feeling enthusiastic!

As a society, we champion inclusivity and accessibility and we have garnered multiple awards for doing so! We love and celebrate one another unconditionally and we cannot wait to welcome you with open arms!

ABOUT US

We are Royal Holloway Gospel Choir. A welcoming choir open to anyone who shares our love of singing and passion for gospel music. We rehearse twice a week (with access to the chapel on our Thursday rehearsals) and are lucky enough to perform in amazing venues on campus and beyond. We have staged flash mobs, annual concerts, and recorded original songs. Off campus, our members have performed on The X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent joining together with members of Gospel Choirs from all over the country. We have previously won the national competition University Gospel Choir of the Year (UGCY) and hope to enter more competitions this year.

Each year we go on tour and get to sing in venues around the world. Past destinations include, Amsterdam and Dinseyland Paris. This past year the choir went to Bruges, Belgium, and performed in Bruges Cathedral among other venues. 

We sing a large variety of music so there is always something for everyone. We aim to include popular music as well as traditional gospel music so no one will feel left out!

As well as performing, we organise numerous socials from theatre trips, to pyjama rehearsals and open mic nights and many more. We pride ourselves on being a fun, yet rewarding choir with confident, happy members. We have exciting plans for the choir and can’t wait to kick off another year of singing!

ABOUT US

Savoy Opera Society was founded in 1966 as the University’s Gilbert and Sullivan Society. Being the oldest student society on campus, we remain at the heart of the performing arts scene at Royal Holloway to this very day. Guided by our love of Opera and Operetta our society is home to some of the finest singers, actors, and musicians on campus, and we pride ourselves in providing an essential, yet diverse, platform for those who love to perform.

Each year, we put on both an autumn and spring term show, producing productions that range from Gilbert and Sullivan’s joyous “Pirates of Penzance”, to Cole Porter’s raucous “Anything Goes”. Most recently, in the summer of 2018, we had showcased "The Gondoliers" at the International Gilbert & Sullivan Festival, in the prestigious Harrogate Theatre! Cornerstones of an experimental approach that has reaped rich rewards and that show we are constantly looking to grow and improve.

On top of this, we offer other opportunities, such as formal and informal concerts, and at Savoy Opera we strive to provide exciting, and above all, fun opportunities for our members. We also pride ourselves in providing an excellent shadow scheme for those who want to work backstage, as well as fantastic openings for musicians looking to participate in a performance orchestra. Yet as well as this, we in Savoy also boast a vibrant social calendar packed with everything from theatre trips, to picnics and nights out. Moreover, our amazing community takes great delight in welcoming newcomers into the fold. Indeed the dedication, passion, and camaraderie the latter shows is consistently astounding and shines through in everything Savoy does.

In the year of our 50th anniversary, we were honoured with a nomination for Most Improved Society of the Year. This was a clear recognition of how we in Savoy successfully blend half a century of knowledge, with boundless enthusiasm to offer a truly unique experience that many of our members treasure long into the future.
