Bob Chilcott has been involved in choral music for most of his life, as a chorister and choral scholar at King's College, Cambridge, and for twelve years a member of The King's Singers. Since 1997 he has worked as a full-time composer and has written a wide variety of choral music, including a significant amount for young choirs. He has over one hundred pieces published by Oxford University Press, and a number of his choral works have been published in German, Swedish, Norwegian, and Slovenian.
 

The past year has included the release of the acclaimed Signum disc, Man I Sing , on which Bob conducts the BBC Singers, and the composition of Like a Singing Bird , commissioned by 19 American choirs and one from Scotland, which raised $30,000 for the choral organization, Chorus America.  2008 also saw the world première of High Flight , written for the 40 th anniversary of The King's Singers, and in which they joined the choir of King's College, Cambridge.  Looking ahead, the opening concert of the 2009 Salisbury Festival features the première of Salisbury Vespers , for which over 600 musicians from the City of Salisbury will gather in the Cathedral, and as a conductor Bob will appear at the National Convention of the American Choral Directors Association, The Japanese Conductors Association, and in Singapore at the World Youth Choir Festival.
