The Academy Choir Wimbledon
The Academy Choir, Wimbledon, gives between two and three major concerts a year, mostly in the excellent acoustic of St John's Church in Wimbledon. We employ brilliant soloists for these occasions and the Academy's own professional Orchestra or Baroque Players, depending on the repertoire. We also sing in English Cathedrals and other Churches a few times each year.
