# Monteverdi Choir

Il Monteverdi Choir venne fondato nel 1964 da Sir John Eliot Gardiner per l'esecuzione del Vespro della Beata Vergine nella Cappella del King's College di Cambridge. Specializzato nell'esecuzione di musica del periodo barocco e classico, è diventato famoso per il suo stile e per l'estensione del suo repertorio. Essi collaborano molto spesso con gli English Baroque Soloists.

## Bach Cantata Pilgrimage

Nel 2000, il Choir, con gli English Baroque Soloists, intrapresero un ambizioso tour, il Bach Cantata Pilgrimage, durante il quale eseguirono tutte le cantate sacre di J.S. Bach in più di 60 chiese in tutta Europa per celebrare 250º anniversario della morte del compositore tedesco. Le registrazioni fatte durante il tour sono state effettuate per l'etichetta Soli Deo Gloria di John Eliot Gardiner.
