Bach Choir logoThe Bach Choir has long been established as one of the world's leading choruses.  The Choir's consistent excellence results in regular invitations to sing in prestigious venues, with the very best professional orchestras and soloists.  The Choir undertook a highly successful tour to Australia earlier this year, performing with David Hill, Richard Hickox and Oleg Caetani in Sydney and Melbourne, and makes a return visit to Dresden in July 2009, to sing for a third time in the city’s beautifully restored Frauenkirche.

St John loogSt. John's, Smith Square is regarded, not only as one of the masterpieces of  English Baroque architecture, but as one of London's finest concert venues, attracting internationally renowned artists and performers, and is valued for its superb acoustic.
"Just to come across it in that quiet square is an event. To enjoy its spaces, to listen to fine music, is an experience not to be matched in conventional halls..."
Sir Hugh Casson
