Taverner Choir.

English choir, founded by andrew Parrott. Since its début at the Bath Festival in 1973 the Taverner Choir together with the Taverner Consort (a solo ensemble) and the Taverner Players, have established an international reputation for animated music-making informed by Parrott's imaginative and often provocative scholarship. The Taverner Choir and Consort's many recordings include Renaissance and Baroque repertory from Monteverdi and Marenzio to Handel and Bach, and several modern works. Their broadcasts on BBC Radio 3 have included some challenging juxtapositions of early and contemporary music.
