The Cosmo Singers is an auditioned mixed-voice choir connected with the University of Manchester Chorus. It was established in 2010 to provide an opportunity for Manchester University’s singers to perform a wide range of repertoire at a high standard. It also provides an opportunity for young conductors in MUMS (Manchester University Music Society) to develop their directing skills, and is entirely student-run.
The Cosmo Singers frequently perform alongside the Chorus in concerts, as well as holding their own recitals. Recent repertoire has included Charles Stanford’s Beati Quorum Via, Anders Edenroth’s Chilli Con Carne, The Music of Stillness by Elaine Hagenberg, Berusa er! By Sten Källman, Kerry Andrews’ O Nata Lux, and Eleanor Daley’s In Remembrance.
This year The Cosmo Singers successfully put on numerous concerts, and, most recently, went on a joint chamber choir tour to Edinburgh. It was a great time for all involved, one of the highlights being a stunning concert in the beautiful St Giles’ Cathedral!
