 JOIN THE ENGLISH BAROQUE CHOIR!

 

We are a friendly group of singers of a wide age range with Baroque music at the heart of a much broader repertoire. We are currently looking for some additional Altos and Basses to join us.

 

 

If you are a confident singer with good sight-reading ability we would like to hear from you. Opportunities to sing solos semi-choruses also exist for the most able.

We meet Monday evenings 6.45 – 9.30 pm in central London and rehearsals are purposeful and fun and and there is always a contingent following the rehearsal with food and refreshment in a local pub.

Click on the ‘Sing with us’ – link on the left for more information or simply contact our Membership Secretary Ley Spicer directly on either membership@ebc.org.uk or on 07981 024509 to arrange an audition.

To listen to sample tracks of us singing, click 'Hear Us' in the left hand column.

ENGLISH BAROQUE CHOIR
 
Over the past 30 years, we have become one of London’s leading amateur choirs, developing a reputation for musicality, imaginative programming and choral enthusiasm. 

Under the baton of Jeremy Jackman our reputation and repertoire continues to grow.  The choir’s spiritual home is with Handel, Bach and Purcell but its repertoire ranges wide, encompassing Britten, Elgar, Tippett, Finzi, Poulenc and Rheinberger.

Our last season included a tour to Sweden , a very successful Singing Day in London, open to all singers and attracting over 150 participants, a concert of music for Baroque & Brass featuring Purcell's Funeral Sentences, a sell-out concert of Mozart's 'Requiem' at St Martin-in-the-Fields and culminated with an exuberant performance of Bach's 'St John Passion' at St John’s Smith Square,

EBC’s annual programme always includes performances in St. John’s Smith Square and other major London venues. However the EBC is committed to getting good choral singing widely heard both in and beyond London, having toured in France, Germany, Holland and Italy. The choir returned to France in June 2008 and have just returned from a tour to Sweden.
