Welcome to IMVC
Originating from Imperial College, London, the Imperial Male Voice Choir is a friendly group of over 30 men who meet to rehearse, perform concerts for charity and occasionally enter singing festivals or tour overseas. We aim for a high standard of performance under the experienced direction of our Musical Director, Deborah Miles-Johnson. We have a vast and varied repertoire including Renaissance music, arrangements of folk and popular songs, excerpts from opera and musical theatre, and special commissions. Our members are spread over a large proportion of SE England so rehearsals are organised in a variety of locations convenient for the M25 and are generally held on Sunday afternoons.
We perform several times a year and are normally hosted by an organisation to raise money for themselves or for the charity of their choice.

Hitchin Concert Saturday 11th June 2022
On Saturday, 11th June 2022 we sang at St Mary’s Church Hitchin. A marvelous concert with guest soprano soloist Leilani Barratt, the choir performed a varied and eclectic mix of music: opera choruses, classical part songs, Stephen Sondheim’s “Send in the Clowns”, atmospheric folksongs and hits from the great Broadway and West End shows. Everyone left the concert with a smile on their face and a skip in their stride.
2021
In November 2021 we filled St James's Church, Piccadilly, together with the widely-acclaimed Gloriana choir in our first concert since lockdown began.
