Founded 1978: ‘Has become one of London’s finest amateur choirs, developing a reputation for musicality, imaginative programming and choral enthusiasm. As its name suggests, the choir’s spiritual home is in the rich music of the Baroque period, with large-scale works by Bach, Handel and Monteverdi regularly appearing in its programmes. However it is equally at ease with repertoire from the 15th century right through to the present day ... Admission to the Choir will be by attending a trial rehearsal and then an audition, which involves scales, exercises, and sight reading’.
