One of Europe’s most prominent chamber choirs, the Joyful Company of Singers has a repertoire ranging from the sixteenth century to the present day, including first performances of works by many leading contemporary composers. Formed by conductor Peter Broadbent, the choir regularly appears at major music festivals throughout Britain and Europe, broadcasting in many countries. The choir has released 22 CDs, and recording continues to be an important part of its activity, as does its work with orchestras including the Royal Philharmonic, the Bournemouth Symphony and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.
