Its aim is to provide opportunities for Young singers at the early stages of performing careers, as well as for talented musicians who have chosen not to pursue careers in the music, but wish to continue singing to a high standard. they currently comprise singers from many established choirs, including Birmingham Conservatoire Chamber Choir, Ex Cathedra, Armonico Consort, the Choir of Royal Holloway, Genesis Sixteen, Portsmouth Cathedral and York Minster. the group specialises in undiscovered or little-known British music, and in the music of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries.
