Durham University Gospel Choir was established in 2011 as a society wanting to bring something different to the University music scene. From humble beginnings with just five singers and a drum, the choir now boasts over 35 regular members. Although their members come from all areas of the University, they all share a common goal: to maintain a high quality of musical performance in a fun and lively choir setting. The choir aims to reach a diverse range of venues in order to share their love of gospel music. Their performances have spanned the length of Durham, from busking in the market place to performances at the DICCU Cathedral Carol Service and the Durham Nativity, not to mention a number of summer balls. DU Gospel Choir are very excited to be taking their passion to a national audience at the UGCY 2019 finals!
