Choral Chihuahua is a podcast in which British choral directors chat about things that matter to them: composers they love, points of technique, classic but also niche choral works, other groups and singers they admire. With a light touch, Eamonn Dougan, Robert Hollingworth and now also Nicholas Mulroy chew the choral cud about how (and why) you do it and what they've learnt along the way. Choral Chihuahua is brought to you by I Fagiolini and University of York Music and produced by Polyphonic Films. It's supported through your donations and I Fagiolini Charitable Trust.

Customer Reviews
A “must listen” for choral singers/enthusiasts
Very entertaining with lots of wonderful stories and yet full of useful information too. This podcast brings together the vast experience of Harry Christophers, Robert Hollingworth and Eamonn Dougan and includes lots of interesting guests and extracts from many of the great recordings by The Sixteen, I Fagiolini and others.
A wonderful antidote to all the grim news out there at the moment. Thank you Harry, Robert and Eamonn.
A window into another world
I’m firmly rooted in the none-I Fiagolini Factory Records tradition of A certain Ratio / Joy Division. I think that Robert massively underplayed just how cool being a a Factory artist was(albeit the classical artists never got their full deserts).Just checked and cassettes of his album currently £55 on Discogs!
All that said; fascinated, engaged & amused by the amiable & insightful discussions here about music I love but know so little about. Thanks for the insight into a parallel music universe.
‘Chewing the choral cud’
So engaging and witty. A total treat.
