Scholars of London

Since their professional debut in 1970, The Scholars have given more than 2,500 concerts in more than 50 countries - a record which can be rivalled by very few ensembles in the field of chamber music. They have performed in many of the world's most recognised concert halls, from New York's Lincoln Center, London's Royal Festival Hall and the Sydney Opera House to smaller, more intimate venues such as the Wigmore Hall in London, and the Brahmssaal in Vienna. Their sparkling performances, often enlivened by humorous commentary, are acclaimed by critics and audiences alike. The name "Scholars" derives from the fact that the original members of the group all won scholarships to Cambridge University to sing in the famous choir of King's College Chapel. Thus The Scholars began as an all-male ensemble, but as early as 1972 the group changed to include a female voice, adding a new dimension to both sound and repertoire. Robin Doveton is a founding member and Kym Amps, Angus Davidson and Simon Grant joined the group in 1983, 1986 and 2004 respectively.
