Welcome to the Nonsuch Singers website

 |
Nonsuch Singers, described by The Times in
2003 as "one of London’s best chamber choirs", has a reputation for
innovative programmes, high-quality singing and communicative
performances. The choir's considerable repertoire encompasses a
cappella and accompanied works from the Renaissance to the present day,
and the choir performs regularly with many of the UK's leading period
instrumental ensembles and finest young vocal soloists.

Daily Telegraph, December
2007, "Most satisfying of all were the three beautifully shaped little
anthems by Gabriel Jackson. The choir has a real affinity for his music."
The
Times, October 2005, "...the Nonsuch Singers had an excellent night. Royer takes his chorus parts
into the stratosphere, but this choir never faltered in intonation or tone."

Early Music Review,
November 2005, "The choir produced a splendid sound, clear, crisp and
coordinated.....An enterprising performance by one of London's best chamber
choirs."
