	Musicians - Monteverdi Choir

The Monteverdi Choir was founded in 1964 by Sir John Eliot Gardiner for a performance of the Monteverdi Vespers (1610) in King's College Chapel, Cambridge. A specialist Baroque ensemble, the Choir has become famous for its stylistic conviction and extensive repetoire, encompassing music from the early Baroque period to Classical music of the 20th century.

Bach Cantata Pilgrimage

In 2000, the Choir, with the English Baroque Soloists, undertook an ambitious tour, the Bach Cantata Pilgrimage, where it performed all of J.S. Bach's sacred cantatas in more than 60 churches in Europe to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the composer's death. Recordings made during the Bach Cantata Pilgrimage are released under Sir John Eliot Gardiner's own label, Soli Deo Gloria.
