This British ensemble of 12 young singers is one of the leading exponents of polyphonic vocal music, with emphasis on the Renaissance and early Baroque. At this concert, they presented works for the Holy Week and Easter season from the Tudor, Spanish and Flemish repertoire as well as a modern setting of "Woefully Arrayed".
I found the performance powerful and yet subtle and moving. Their intonation was perfect, and their enunciation clear. Given that they perform without a conductor, their precision is astonishing. I certainly look forward to their next concert.
