We teamed up with Ely Cathedral to release five videos for Holy Week as part of their #LiveHolyWeek initiative. We really enjoyed getting to sing in the incredible acoustic of the Ely Lady Chapel, and we’re very pleased to be able to share the results with you. We recorded pieces… Continue reading
In 2017 we raised the funds to make a recording of some of our favourite music from the English Renaissance, including works by Tallis, Sheppard and Byrd.
