English Baroque Choir

The English Baroque Choir is an amateur choir formed in 1978 in London. The choir specialises in the music of the Baroque period, with large-scale works by Bach, Handel and Monteverdi regularly appearing in its programmes. However, its repertoire also includes music from the 15th century right through to the present day – commissioning and giving the world premiere of Psalm-Cantata by John McCabe in 2013 – and frequently presents smaller-scale concerts with keyboard, harp, brass or completely a cappella.

The choir performs mainly in London, in venues including St John's Smith Square, St Martin-in-the-Fields and St James's Church, Piccadilly. It also travels throughout the home counties and Europe, having performed in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Poland.
