Trésors du Paradis is a celebration of the human spirit against adversity, and is a fitting conclusion to 2022. The project is the brainchild of Director Matthew Foster. This Double CD represents more than just hard work and an outstanding achievement from a choir that only sings once a week during university term times. In the space of just one academic year, twenty-four hours of rehearsal time in total, the chapel choir of Lincoln College managed to learn and perform two CDs worth of some of the most monumental and challenging works in the church choral repertoire.
