SING WITH US!

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 some Altos and Basses to join us for the remainder of our exciting 32nd season which still holds a London concerts and an open singing day and a tour to Sweden in June!

Next season features an orchestral concert featuring works by Pergolesi, Vivaldi & Schutz, Brahms' Requiem in St John Smith Square, Victoria Anniversary concert, workshops and Christmas concerts in central London!

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 followed by most of us by a visit to a local pub.

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 France, a very successful Singing Day in London, open to all singers, a concert of music by Carissimi, Mozart and Scarlatti, a sell out Christmas concert at St Martin-in-the-Fields conducted by Sarah Tenant-Flowers, and culminated with a concert at St John’s Smith Square, celebrating the anniversaries of two masters of baroque music, Handel and Haydn.

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.
