Pergolesi Magnificat - in association with NADFAS

The Grove Singers are a chamber choir of 36 voices which rehearses in central London every 3 - 4 weeks on a Sunday afternoon. It gives and average of 6 concerts a year in the South East : often mixed programmes of a cappella music, with an orchestral concert including a larger scale work every other year in London.

The Church was built by the Knights Templar, the order of crusading monks founded to protect pilgrims on their way to and from Jerusalem in the 12th century. The Church is in two parts: the Round and the Chancel. The Round Church was consecrated in 1185 by the patriarch of Jerusalem. It was designed to recall the holiest place in the Crusaders' world: the circular Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. It is a numinous space - and has a wonderful acoustic for singing.
