The choir
We are an adventurous chamber choir of about thirty experienced singers, drawn from south-west London and north Surrey, who rehearse near Esher.
Our grounding is in the Renaissance and Baroque, but our repertoire includes contemporary composers, rarely-performed and rediscovered music.
We mostly perform a cappella, but for larger works we attract first-class professional soloists and ensembles.
