Welcome to Finchley Chamber Choir
Finchley Chamber Choir is a small group of enthusiastic singers, performing classical music to a high standard, with a local focus in North Finchley. We sing a wide range of music, from Renaissance masterpieces to first performances and everything in between. Soloists for almost all our performances are drawn from within our ranks – a great opportunity for those wishing to gain performance experience and develop their confidence as a soloist. Our Musical Director is David Lardi, who in April 2026 received a Barnet Lifetime Achievement Award for his contribution to amateur music-making in the borough.
We welcome membership applications from experienced singers who can read music, in all voices, but we may occasionally ask you to join a waiting list in order to maintain a well-balanced choir. Please see Join Us for more information.

Our partner charity
St Michael’s Catholic Grammar School
FCC’s partner charity for 2026-27 is St Michael’s Catholic Grammar School, a state funded secondary school for girls, located just opposite our rehearsal and concert venue in Nether Street, North Finchley. The school’s mission is to enable students to make full use of their God-given talents in order to become successful and active citizens in our modern society.
We hope to support the school’s Music department through performance opportunities, fundraising and practical support. We are excited to collaborate with the Choir of St Michael’s in our concert on Saturday 28 November 2026 at Trinity Church.
