From a “scratch” choir formed in 1995 for a one-off performance of Monteverdi’s Vespers, Pegasus has grown to be one of the UK’s leading and most active chamber choirs. Samir Savant, our producer, co-founded the choir and has been involved from the beginning, and several of our current members have been in Pegasus almost as long! We’re proud of our wide-ranging programming, our collaborations with choreographers, dancers and directors, our ongoing work with prestigious musical partners, such as the London Handel Festival and Tilford Bach Society, our support of important charities ranging from the Friends of Shakespeare’s Globe to Princess Alice Hospice, our premieres of pieces by Thomas Adès, John Tavener and Francis Grier, our critical acclaim in the press and our appearances on radio and television, as well as our international competition successes.
Classical and popular, sacred and secular, old and new: Pegasus has sung it all—and in about 15 languages! Can we make it 21 by the end of our anniversary year? Stay tuned: we’re finalizing our concert diary and in the autumn we’ll announce a veritable cornucopia of concerts for our 21st birthday year.
