CANTICUM

In the ten years since its formation, Canticum has established itself as one of the leading chamber choirs in the country. As well as performing major works, the choir has gained a reputation for exploring new areas of repertoire, with the first UK performance of Michael Haydn's Requiem and the commissioning of two new works in the 2000/2001 Season. In addition to their main season at the Temple Church, they have performed Bach's Mass in B minor with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment at St John's, Smith Square; Mozart's Requiem with OAE at the Linbury Studio Theatre, Royal Opera House, Covent Garden; and the London première of Richard Rodney Bennett's The Glory and the Dream.

Recent projects include: an Italian tour, performing in St Peter's and Santa Maria del Populo, Rome and Purcell's Dido and Aeneas with the Orchestra da Camera di Orvieto at the Festival of European Languages; and the Fauré Requiem with the City of London Sinfonia.
