  Eton College Chapel Choir    (est. 1440) Classical Choir of Men and Boys 
Print Friendly Page 
Eton College Chapel Choir Eton College, England's most famous "public school," was founded in 1440 by King Henry VI across the Thames from, and nearly in the shadow of, Windsor Castle. King Henry's foundation called for a choir of ten men and 16 boys to sing the services, and the choir has been singing in the school's great chapel ever since. The current director is Ralph Allwood.
