Monteverdi’s Vespers with the Choir of Royal Holloway

26 March @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm

£15

The Choir of Royal Holloway and the Brandenburg Baroque Soloists present Monteverdi’s Vespro della Beata Vergine (1610), performed in London’s oldest church the day after the Feast of the Annunciation. This evocative piece of early 17th century virtuosity will be performed with authentic instruments.

The Choir of Royal Holloway is considered to be one of the finest mixed-voice collegiate choirs in Great Britain, with their recordings attracting top reviews from all major music publications. Created at the time of the foundation of Royal Holloway in 1886, the choir was originally only for women’s voices. The mixed choir now comprises 24 Choral Scholars who undertake a busy schedule of weekly services, as well as concerts, international tours, recordings, and TV and radio broadcasts. They are the only choir to give a weekly concert performance and during an average year give around 40- 50 concerts with a particular specialism in contemporary music.

The choir regularly collaborates with and performs alongside many famous ensembles. These have included the King’s Singers, the BBC Singers, The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Britten Sinfonia, London Mozart Players, Onyx Brass, Fretwork and the jazz-trio Acoustic Triangle. The group also celebrates the work of living composers and has commissioned works from Sir James MacMillan, Gabriel Jackson, Richard Rodney Bennett, Cecilia McDowall, and Paul Mealor. International performances are also an integral part of the choir’s work. They have toured most European countries, and have been broadcast on national television and radio all over the world. A tour of all three Baltic states saw the choir performing in the Latvian Song Festival with the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra, in a concert (sung in Estonian) broadcast nationally on the Estonian Day of Independence. Further afield, the group has visited Beijing and numerous tours to the US and Canada.
