History
Founded in 1944, the Renaissance Singers has for sixty years played an important part in the revival and development of early music in the UK and is still the foremost amateur choir specialising in this repertoire.
Each season the choir presents a programme of concerts in London - where it is based - and a series of open workshops which provide the opportunity for others to sing with the choir in an informal and friendly atmosphere.

the generosity of the Patrons of the choir, and the support of the Friends
of the Renaissance Singers.
