About Jubilate



Our beginnings lie at Kingsbury High School in Brent. The school's choir were very successful in the mid-1980s, so when school was over the group carried on singing, moved to Harrow and became known as Jubilate.

Since Musical Director Sarah Stroh took over in 1999 the choir has gone from strength to strength. Recent achievements include:
  • winning Most Entertaining Choir and placed 2nd overall at the inaugural Peterborough International Women's Choral Festival in June 2023
  • winning Single Voice category in July 2022 in the Choir of Choirs competition at the International Choral Festival in Cardiff
  • singing at the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Beacon Lighting Ceremony in Uxbridge in June 2022 Queen's Platinum Jubilee - Jubilate sings at the lighting of the beacon
  • carol singing in the EastEnder's Christmas Eve 2021 episode  
  • winning the Gold Cup for Most Memorable Choir at the Cheltenham Festival of Performing Arts, along with three other trophies including Best Female Choir
  • being broadcast on Classic FM in December 2017
  • being broadcast on BBC Radio 3, singing three pieces composed especially for us by Ailie Robertson as part of Making Music's Adopt a Composer scheme
  • winning four trophies at the 2016 Mid-Somerset Festival for the female choirs in the Sacred Music, Sing Shakespeare and Popular/Show Song classes
  • winning the Ladies' Choir class at the 2015 Cheltenham Festival of Performing Arts. 

 
 
 In 2013 we were given the honour of singing at  
 Westminster Cathedral at the Barnardos Christmas concert.
 We've competed twice at the prestigious Llangollen International
 Eistedfodd and been lucky enough to support 
Brit award-winning 
 vocal group Blake several times. Some of us have even performed
 with singer-songwriter Barry Manilow!




 
In May 2018 we won four trophies - including the prestigious Gold Cup for most outstanding choir - at the Cheltenham Festival of Performing Arts. In December 2017 a track from our Christmas CD was broadcast on Classic FM and we've also been broadcast on BBC Radio 3, singing three pieces composed especially for us by Ailie Robertson as part of Making Music's Adopt a Composer scheme.
