Our players and soloists

In addition to our own professional orchestras (the Academy Baroque Players led by Alison Bury and the London Mozart Players) we have been immensely fortunate to perform alongside some of the foremost professional musicians as vocal soloists including:

"Far from the usual young student or post-graduate solo singers usually booked by choral societies, the six vocal soloists were well-established professionals of considerable standing."
