Overview
Awards and acclaim have followed the pioneering work of the Monteverdi Choir and its founder, Sir John Eliot Gardiner. ‘If there were a Nobel prize for choirs, the Monteverdi Choir should be its laureate’, noted Le Monde.
Their interpretations of everything from medieval music and Monteverdi to the great choral works of Bach, Handel, Beethoven and Brahms have set benchmark standards in terms of style and substance, stripping away anachronistic performance traditions and keeping faith with the original intentions of composers for their music.
The ensemble makes a long-awaited return to Wigmore Hall with a programme guaranteed to seduce the ear and gladden the heart.
