The Renaissance Singers of London

The Renaissance Singers is London’s leading amateur chamber choir specialising in European sacred music of the 15th-17th centuries. We perform music by well-known great composers of the period including Josquin, Tallis, Byrd, Lassus, Palestrina and Victoria as well as giving rare airings to gems by lesser-known musicians.

We have a varied annual programme giving around five concerts a year, mainly in London, and undertake occasional overseas tours and exchange projects with foreign choirs.

The choir also hosts three workshops a year, open to all, where we explore Renaissance repertoire under expert direction.  Among our recent workshop leaders are John Milsom, Sally Dunkley, Philip Thorby and Bruno Turner.

Dr David Allinson

The choir is pleased to announce its choice of David Allinson as its new Musical Director.  Referring to his recent appointment, David said:

1. “I am delighted to be assuming the role of musical director of the Rennies. Not only are they one of Britain's top amateur chamber choirs, with a distinguished history and excellent standards of musicianship, they are specialist practitioners of the polyphonic repertoire which I know intimately from years of studying, singing and conducting. The prospect of rehearsing and performing this rewarding repertoire with the Rennies over the coming years fills me with delight.”
