A chamber choir comprised of performing arts students and a Welsh close harmony group are the last two acts to reach the final of new BBC singing talent show Pitch Battle.
Tring Park 16, from Tring Park School For The Performing Arts in Hertfordshire, were the winners of Saturday night’s penultimate show after beating off all-male Irish group The Ramparts.
After four other choirs were eliminated in a series of rounds, the remaining two groups took it in turns to perform guest judge Joe Jonas’s Kissing Strangers before the DNCE member joined Tring Park 16, indicating they had won the sing-off.
On choosing the winner, Jonas said: “The whole night they really proved themselves. Both groups were great but Tring Park 16 really showed the judges and myself they were the winner tonight.”
They will return to the studio next week for the grand final alongside wildcard entry Sgarmes and the four other episode winners.
Sgarmes, from Aberystwyth, had previously lost out to a capella group All The King’s Men and will perform alongside Jermaine Jackson in the final.
Here is the full list of next week’s finalists and their respective performers.
:: Leeds Contemporary Singers with Will Young
:: Scot Soul with Chaka Khan
:: All The King’s Men with Bebe Rexha
:: Portsmouth University Gospel Choir with Seal
:: Tring Park 16 with Nick Jonas
:: Sgarmes with Jermaine Jackson
:: Pitch Battle returns to BBC One next Saturday at 7.25pm for the live grand final.
