The International Staff Songsters (ISS) is the principal choir of the Salvation Army.[1][2] Based in London, UK, the group performs Christian choral music in concerts,[3] worship services and television[4] and radio[5][6][7] broadcasts, and has recorded more than 50 albums since its inauguration.[8][9]
Members of the choir are Christians who are also members of their local Salvation Army church.[10] The ISS regularly visits Salvation Army centres in the UK[11] and has undertaken several international tours, including the US,[12] Canada, France, Switzerland, Estonia, Australia,[13] New Zealand,[14] Kenya, South Africa, Argentina and Uruguay.[15] Profits from recordings and performances are used to support the work of the Salvation Army.[16] The ISS has performed in diverse locations; from notable venues across the UK, including the Royal Albert Hall,[17] O2 Arena, Llandaff Cathedral, Gloucester Cathedral and Symphony Hall, to squatter camps, prisons and hostels.[15] The ISS regularly performs on the long-running BBC Radio 4 shows The Daily Service and Sunday Worship,[18][19] and has also featured on the BBC Television programme, Songs of Praise.[20][21]
