About
Anna Lapwood is a trailblazing musician. Alongside her work as a conductor, Director of Music and public speaker, she performs an extensive number of organ recitals on some of the greatest instruments across Europe each season. In 2022 she was announced as Associate Artist of the Royal Albert Hall and Artist in Association with the BBC Singers.
This album is the second commercial release for this choir and Anna Lapwood as a conductor. It is a recording of a unique collection of contemporary choral pieces, some newly arranged pieces never before recorded, and some premieres of new works.
The Pembroke College Girls’ Choir was founded in October 2018 and has quickly gained a reputation as one of the UK’s leading girls’ choirs. Made up of 18 girls aged 11-18, the Choir sings twice a week in the College Chapel, as well as regularly singing alongside the Chapel Choir.

Mar/Apr 2023
The recording matches the singing in its openness and clarity, and this disc is recommended enthusiastically and without reservation. Hugely enjoyable music-making!
August 2022
The choir’s sound is fresh and supple, the blend sweet and nicely balanced...Apart from being an attractive listen, hopefully it will also prove a valuable resource for other ensembles
