Ronald Corp OBE – A Celebration of his Life

Anonymous

A distinguished gathering of musicians and singers will come together at Cadogan Hall to celebrate the life and legacy of Ronald Corp OBE, the much-loved British composer, conductor and Anglican priest, who died on 7 May 2025 at the age of 74.

This special memorial concert will be led by Dame Jane Glover and will unite the ensembles that were central to Corp’s remarkable musical life: The London Chorus, Highgate Choral Society, the New London Orchestra, and alumni of the New London Children’s Choir.

Ronald Corp was founder and artistic director of the New London Orchestra and the New London Children’s Choir and served as musical director of The London Chorus and Highgate Choral Society for several decades. A tireless champion of light music in both the concert hall and recording studio, he also composed a vast body of popular and enduring works that have become cherished by choirs and audiences alike.

The evening will feature a rich and varied programme that reflects the breadth of Corp’s musical output and the traditions he upheld.
