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. President Vice-Presidents Leon Lovett Musical Director Accompanist |
