The Renaissance Singers is a specialist chamber choir that has brought the best in Renaissance vocal music to audiences in Britain for over 80 years.
Founded in London in 1944, the choir was a pioneer in the 20th century early music revival. Under its current Musical Director David Allinson, the choir maintains a busy schedule of performances, workshops and recordings.
Performing Renaissance music that others do not, and aiming to engage wider audiences, the choir strives for the highest musical standards in all it does. Its programmes offer unique paths of discovery for singers and audiences alike.
“Not only was the performance outstanding, but the choice of music, much of it being heard for the first time in the UK, was a brilliant choice by their inspirational musical director and conductor David Allinson… they are currently at the top of their game, with excellent and well-drilled singers.”

What Renaissance music would you take to your desert island?
David Allinson has been our MD since the start of 2010. He has devised dozens of concert programmes and led us through hundreds of rehearsals. As part of our 80th anniversary celebrations, we've asked him to nominate a handful of highlight works from his years with the choir and to include them in this celebratory evening workshop.
