Yorkshire Bach Choir was founded in 1979 by Peter Seymour.[2] They run an annual concert series, currently at St Lawrence's Church, York and in the Jack Lyons Concert Hall of the University of York. It is one of the UK’s leading chamber choirs, specialising in renaissance and baroque music.[3]

The choir has also appeared at the Leipzig Bach Festival, the York Early Music Festival and other festivals; it has recorded for ITV and Channel 4 as well as on many occasions for WDR-Köln and BBC Radio 3 in programmes from Monteverdi to Haydn.[4]

Repertoire

[edit | edit source]

Although its work focuses on 17th and 18th century music, its repertoire extends back to 16th century polyphony and includes newly commissioned works including those by Christopher Fox and John Paynter. It also uses historical research into performing practices as the basis for their performances.[5][6][7]

Visiting soloists have included Lucy Russell.[8]
