  • Many congratulations to second-year @ClareCollege Music student Thomas Alban @thomasalban307 who has won the 2025 Clare College Carol Composition Competition with his setting of ‘Nunc dimittis’ for a cappella choir. Out of a strong field of entries, his carol stood out as a clear winner, imaginatively scored, with a strong cohesive harmonic language, and idiomatically written for voices. The competition was adjudicated by Graham Ross, Director of Music at Clare, and William Vann, Director of Music at Royal Hospital Chelsea. Thomas’s winning entry will be premiered and performed by the Choir of Clare College at the two Advent Carol Services in Chapel on Thursday 27 and Sunday 30 November 2025, and LiveStreamed on the Choir’s YouTube channel. Congratulations, Thomas!
