The New College Choir, Oxford, also known as the Choir of New College, Oxford, is one of England's most venerable and venerated ensembles, with an unbroken tradition dating back to the late 14th century. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, the choir has become internationally prominent, with wide-ranging tours and a large catalog of recordings. Oxford's New College, which has had that name for more than 600 years, was founded in 1379 and has featured choral singing in its splendid New College Chapel ever since the building was constructed. An early CD-era recording by the group was William Byrd: Cantiones Sacrae (1589), which appeared in 1983. The choir's current director of music is Robert Quinney, who also serves as organist. The New College Choir, Oxford, returned in 2023 with the album New College: Commissions & Premieres.
