Ealing Abbey Choir was founded in 1910 by Dom Cyril Rylance (1880–1958), a monk of the monastery, coming into existence as the Catholic Church in England was rediscovering its musical heritage through the works of Renaissance composers and Gregorian chant.

The Abbey Choir consists of boy and girl treble choristers and six professional lay clerks. The Choir’s principal commitment revolves around the liturgy in the Abbey Church each week and at Christmas and Easter; repertoire ranges from Gregorian chant and Latin polyphony to works by composers such as Jonathan Dove, Gabriel Jackson & Errollyn Wallen. 

Outside of the liturgy the choir is extremely active, giving public concerts and touring regularly. The choir has toured across Europe (Poland, Austria, Germany, Italy, France) and USA (East & West Coast) and given concert performances include Bach’s St John Passion, Handel’s Messiah, Orff’s Carmina Burana at Cadogan Hall and Monteverdi’s Vespers.
