Polyphony (Choir)
Hailed as one of the world’s leading choirs in a poll by Gramophone Magazine, Polyphony has become ‘renowned for both their sound and versatility, whether in early music, or contemporary works such as those of Eric Whitacre, they embody the remarkable tradition of British choral excellence at its finest.’
Polyphony has performed and broadcast regularly worldwide and has an extensive discography comprising numerous important recordings of works by Bach, Britten, Bruckner, Cornelius, Grainger, Grieg, Handel, Jackson, Jenkins, Lauridsen, Łukaszewski, MacMillan, Pärt, Poulenc, Rutter, Tavener, Walton, and Whitacre.
Recent highlights for the choir include appearances at the Oslo International Church Music Festival, at the Polish Sacred Music Festival in London ‘Joy and Devotion’, giving no less than seven UK premieres; several appearances at the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam, as part of their ZaterdagMatinee series, including Fauré’s Requiem with Britten Sinfonia; performances of Bach’s St John Passion, with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, Paris, and the Theater an der Wien, Vienna; and a performance of Mozart’s Requiem, with the City of London Sinfonia, at the BBC Proms.
Other notable appearances have included the Belfast Festival as part of their 50 year celebrations; Snape Maltings, Aldeburgh, to mark the start of their Britten celebrations; and the Three Choirs Festival in Gloucester with the Philharmonia Orchestra.
