The final spectacular event of the competition will see six of the UK's leading choirs sing live on stage at the Royal Festival Hall. Televised by BBC FOUR and broadcast by BBC Radio 3, each choir will perform to a panel of expert judges and an audience of more than 2,000 in order to take the overall title, Choir of the Year 2012.

Our special guests, The Swingle Singers, will entertain choirs and audience alike when the judges make the all-important decision and are sure to have everyone on their feet and joining in! The latest lineup of young and talented voices represents the group's transformation from pioneering classical/jazz crossover artists to contemporary vocal super-group. Their repertoire encompasses classical, jazz, Latin, pop and rock, all accompanied by their own vocal rhythm section. The Swingle Singers have performed all across the UK, America, Asia, and virtually every country in Europe, have released over 50 recordings, and have won five Grammy Awards.
