The Southampton University Chamber Choir forms part of one of the older societies (i.e. the society has been around for a long time, not that the members are old, although this is debatable) to be affiliated to SUSU (Southampton Student's Union). A society in its own right until 2004, SUCC has a reputation for fine singing and even finer socials.

In 2004 SUCC decided to link up with the SU Philharmonic Choir, giving students a choice to sing in both a large-scale chorus and smaller group. The two choirs formed the society Southampton University Bel Canto, with Andrew Ingram being the dedicated first President. When people join Bel Canto they are automatically entitled to sing with the SU Phil, while to sing in the Chamber Choir, members must audition.

The Society continues to go from pub to pub strength to strength. In December 2006 a suitably large audience at St Mary's Church in the city centre had the pleasure of listening to the choir sing a selection of music with a theme of 'Darkness and Light'. And at the end of March the society embarked on its first tour abroad in donkey's years – they travelled to northern Italy to experience the three Vs - Verona, Venice and.....Vino! As part of this hugely successful trip the choir performed two concerts as well as singing during a Mass at St Mark’s Basilica in Venice. The 2006/07 academic year was rounded off by a successful concert at St Michael's Church, also in Southampton City Centre.

The Chamber Choirs next concert is on Saturday 26th April 2008 at St Michael the Archangel Church, Bugle Street, Southampton. Highlights will include Allegri's Miserere and two pieces by Taverner amongst other pieces.
