Crouch End Festival Chorus (CEFC) is a symphonic choir based in north London which performs in a range of musical styles, including traditional choral repertoire, contemporary classical, rock, pop and film music. 　　Led by Musical Director David Temple, the choir has appeared in the BBC Proms concert series and has performed under the baton of conductors including Esa Pekka-Salonen, Semyon Bychkov, Edward Gardner and Valery Gergiev. CEFC also features on the sound track of films and TV series such as Disney’s Prince Caspian and the BBC’s Dr Who. 　　CEFC’s patrons include the conductor Sir Mark Elder, bass-baritone Bryn Terfel, film music composers Ennio Morricone and Hans Zimmer, and rock artists Ray Davies and Noel Gallagher, with whom the choir has performed live and in the recording studio. 　　In 1984 tenors David Temple and John Gregson organised a scratch choir of amateur singers to perform Verdi’s Requiem in a local arts festival in Crouch End, north London. The choir was named Crouch End Festival Chorus. Over the past 30 years its membership has grown to around 150 singers who rehearse weekly in Muswell Hill and perform at venues across London including the Barbican Hall, Royal Festival Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, and Royal Albert Hall. 　　CEFC is a charitable company run by a board of trustees elected by its members, with the day-to-day functions of the organisation carried out by a management committee of volunteers from the choir’s ranks. Members join the choir via a formal audition and all singers are re-auditioned every three years.
