Cambridge University Symphony Chorus (CUSC) is a choir of approximately 120 members. It performs large-scale choral works, the emphasis being on music of the 19th and 20th centuries. CUSC is made up of undergraduate and postgraduate students, staff, alumni, and members of the wider Cambridge community.
David Young took over as Musical Director in 2023, and the soloists are professional artists of the highest order. CUSC enjoys trips and performances abroad, for example, to Florence, Prague, Tallinn, Rome, Lisbon and, most recently, Paris. Recent works in the choir’s repertoire include William Walton’s Belshazzar’s Feast in Paris, Handel’s Messiah, the Verdi and Mozart Requiems, Mendelssohn’s Elijah and Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius.
