SYRINX is a contemporary choir based in Vauxhall, South London.

We sing a curious mix of music. New songs and old songs with a focus on harmony and heart. Medieval chants, pop bangers, environmental protest songs, new choral compositions, urban shanties & Finnish herding calls. Have a listen to our playlist to get more of a sense of what happens when we sing together.

We're around 60 voices and mostly sing in 4 part harmony, always unaccompanied. We perform regular concerts in beautiful spaces, and sometimes in collaboration with other artists and choirs. Recent performances include singing with Stornoway at the Royal Albert Hall, premiering the Spell Songs Choral Songbook at Sinfonia Smith Square and recording NESS with Hayden Thorpe for BBC Countryfile.

The choir's name SYRINX comes from the vocal organ of birds. In Greek mythology, Syrinx was a beautiful nymph who metamorphosed into a reed from which Pan then made his panpipes. Claude Debussy, Benjamin Britten and several other composers have written works inspired by the character Syrinx, and that beautiful bird-like sound.

SYRINX is run by singer, composer and choir leader Ben See:

"I started SYRINX to create a choir that dares to be different — bringing together brilliant singers, exploring an exciting and varied repertoire, and striving for something truly special in every performance. We’re ambitious about the music we make, passionate about how we make it, and the people we make it with. There’s nothing quite like making great music with great folks — and we’re only just getting started!"
