It has also performed at Abbey Road Studios, the London O2 Arena and Hampton Court Palace.

The choir’s repertoire is broad, ranging from the great choral and orchestral works by Verdi, Brahms, Mozart, Handel and Bach to contemporary commissions. A cappella music is sung in many languages and in all styles from early Renaissance to the present day, from secular to sacred, classical to jazz and including popular and folk music from around the world. The choir is often accompanied by professional orchestras and has recently performed with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Brandenburg Sinfonia, London Mozart Players and Fine Arts Brass.
As well as its own concert series, the London Oriana Choir is often invited to sing for other organisations including BBC television. The choir has produced four commercial CD recordings, including a world première of Sir Henry Walford Davies's cantata Everyman with the Kensington Symphony Orchestra, which received Editor's Choice awards in bothGramophone magazine and International Record Review. In April 2008 another world première recording was released, Armstrong Gibbs's choral symphony Odysseus with the BBC Concert Orchestra. 2010 saw the choir support rock god Robert Plant in his Electric Prom performances at the Roundhouse in Camden, broadcast on BBC Two and Radio 2. less
