New London Singers & New London Soloists Orchestra
Ivor Setterfield - Conductor

The New London Singers, a 40-strong choir with many published recordings, has built a reputation for singing a wide-ranging repertoire of both 'a cappella' and accompanied music. Conducted by Ivor Setterfield, featured in the BBC’s high-profile Maestro (2008) television series as well as his own TV documentary on Channel Five, The Singing Estate (2006).

New London Singers has won multiple national and international competitions and their performances will appeal to music lovers of all ages.

Now in its nine season of acclaimed concerts at St Martin-in-the-Fields, the New London Soloists Orchestra has an international following. In addition to its reputation as an outstanding solo ensemble, NLSO has close links with choirs and choral music and regularly appears in an accompanying role with New London Singers and Barts Choir.

“The finale received as vigorous and thrilling a reading as one could wish for. This was a driven performance, full of intensity which seldom relaxed but always danced.” - The Strad

Both choir and orchestra are conducted by Ivor Setterfield
