We sing a wide range of classical choral music,from baroque to contemporary.
Recent concerts have included Monteverdi’s Vespers, Handel’s Judas Maccabeus, Puccini’s Messa di Gloria, and Parry’s Songs of Farewell. We perform at various top London venues including St John’s, Smith Square;The Banqueting House, Whitehall; and St-Martin-in-the-Fields, Trafalgar Square.
Every year, we plan to have a workshop day for members. It is a chance to sing smaller part songs and secular pieces, to take part in vocal coaching by a professional singer, as well as to socialise with other choir members.
The Choir also hosts come and sing events. This year's will include choruses from Haydn's Creation and will be held on 8th October. Details will be posted on this website.
