English Baroque Choir
One of the finest choirs in London
We perform a wide range of repertoire, from 15th century renaissance, via the masters of baroque music, to the great romantic composers and contemporary music. Our repertoire takes us all around the world with a special focus on British and European masters. We recently performed a whole concert of amazing Scandinavian music.

Audience reactions
Here are some of the things members of the audience had to say about our St. John Passion concert in April 2022, which was Harry’s first concert with us.
“Last night’s soloists were superb, wonderful legato and phrasing, and interpretation, a delight, especially Sam Kibble’s difficult area which he sang with distinction, in my view. And a perfect Evangelist – coping smoothly and effortlessly with the huge vocal and interpretive demands. So also the orchestra, very impressive, managing beautiful ensemble with their fabulous technique. But my happiest memory will be of the choir, singing overall with confidence and attention, responding to Harry.“
“I was so keen to come and glad I could. The joy and commitment to the music palpable from your choir and everyone involved.“
“It was a wonderful concert, so glad we came! Congratulations to the choir and your new MD did a brilliant job. It’s great to see audiences overcoming covid worries and flocking back to support live concerts.”
“Peter and I very much enjoyed your concert last night. The choir made a fine sound, as did the soloists, and you clearly have a great new young conductor! It was a lovely evening.“
“Top-notch concert!“
