VASARI SINGERS

Founded in 1980, Vasari Singers is among the leading chamber choirs in Britain, performing music ranging from Renaissance to contemporary. The choir performs regularly in London as well as visiting many of England’s cathedrals to sing services, with recent trips to Canterbury, Salisbury, Bath and Ripon. The choir and Jeremy Backhouse are deeply committed to contemporary music and have commissioned over 20 works since 2000, including the oratorio The Cloud of Unknowing by Francis Pott and works by Gabriel Jackson. Vasari’s extensive discography reflects the choir’s versatility and quality and showcases its unique choral sound, whether singing a cappella or accompanied. Two CDs of works by Marcel Dupré received Gramophone’s ‘Editor’s Choice’ award. The Howells Requiem and Frank Martin Mass CD was Gramophone Award-nominated, and the 2007 disc Noel Nouvelet was MusicWeb International’s Recording of the Month. 2012 saw Vasari Singers open the London A Cappella Festival at King’s Place, performing alongside members of the Swingle Singers.
