Medici Choir
John Baird - Conductor

Medici Choir was established in 1951 to perform during the Festival of Britain. Then it was known as 'The United Hospitals Festival Choir', and most of the choir members at the time had some connection with hospitals in central London.

Today the choir is a large and friendly group of nearly 100 voices from many different professions in addition to medicine, and rehearses at the Church of Scotland, Covent Garden. In addition to three regular London concerts a year, the choir takes part in a Christmas carol service, sings at private commercial events and weddings and at festivals abroad. Medici Choir has performed in Prague, Berlin, Paris, Venice and Rome as well as the Wolfgangseee region of Austria. It also took part in Hereford Cathedral's Pentecost service earlier this year. The choir regularly performs with the Brandenburg Sinfonia and has recorded arrangements of pop and rock songs for Absolute Radio.
