The Vasari Singers is one of the UK’s leading chamber choirs. Now in their 30^th anniversary season under Jeremy Backhouse, they perform a wide range of music with passion and sensitivity to exacting standards and considerable press acclaim.

Vasari performs regularly in most of London’s major concert venues and has taken part in numerous commercial concerts and festivals, including the BBC Proms. The choir works regularly for the BBC, appearing on the BAFTA-winning documentary sound-track Seven Wonders. New music is central to the choir’s activities, and since 2000 has commissioned over 20 works from British composers.

For Redbourn 900 Vasari presents a fabulous programme that will appeal to all who love the sound of excellent choral singing.
