The website for Girton College Chapel Choir (http://www.girtoncollegechoir.com) says that the choir, "...has been growing in prominence at home and abroad over the last ten years, a distinction confirmed by the prizes it won in the 1999 Takarazuka International Competition in Japan. These included the Gold Medal in the mixed chorus division and a special prize awarded by the conductor of the Vienna Boys' Choir to the ensemble deemed to produce the best sound. The choir is made up of about 24 choral scholars and volunteers drawn from a number of different colleges. Most are undergraduates; together they represent a very wide range of disciplines."
