English Baroque Choir with Brandenburg Baroque Soloists
Jeremy Jackman - Conductor

As its name suggests the English Baroque Choir's spiritual home is in the rich music of the Baroque period. Such pieces as Bach's Mass in B Minor, St John Passion and St Matthew Passion, and Handel's Messiah form the core of its repertoire. However the English Baroque Choir sings music from the 15th century to the present day and has performed Monteverdi's Vespers, Charpentier's Te Deum and Telemann's St Luke Passion as well as more modern pieces by composers including Britten, Duruflé, Howells, Poulenc, Stravinsky and Vaughan Williams.

EBC's reputation as one of London's leading amateur choirs continues to grow with performances that demonstrate its high quality and versatility. Whether performing Baroque masterpieces to packed audiences in St John's, Smith Square and St Martin-in-the-Fields, 20th century English and American music in The Atrium Vintners Place, Evensong in England's finest cathedrals or Christmas music at th V&A and on C4's Richard & Judy, EBC's collective dedication to the highest standards of musicality shines through under the baton of musical director Jeremy Jackman.

There are around 70 members of the choir, which performs at least four concerts a year in London venues as well as travelling throughout England and undertaking tours abroad and festival engagements. Past foreign visits have been to Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Poland.

The Brandenburg Baroque Soloists is one of the most dynamically versatile musical organisations in the country. In recent years the orchestra has performed in the majority of the major venues across the country, and in London. Future tours include: France, Germany, USA, Japan and Hong Kong.
