The choir is resident at St Giles in the Fields in Holborn. Our association with this beautiful 1734 Henry Flitcroft-designed church dates back to the choir’s formation, in 2004, when Richard Thomas was invited to put together a group of singers for the Leprosy Mission's annual carol service. There were 13 singers at that first event – hence the name.
Over the past seven years the choir's membership has evolved into the current group of
32 - all of whom are experienced singers drawn from a variety of leading London choirs including the Philharmonia Chorus, BBC Symphony Chorus and London Symphony Chorus.
Our wide repertoire encompasses sacred music from the 16th to the 21st centuries and
past concerts have featured masterpieces by such renowned composers as Monteverdi,
de Padilla, Guerrero, Victoria, Tallis, Purcell, and Byrd through to Howells, Rachmaninov, Britten, Tavener and MacMillan.
We do not sell tickets to our concerts - all admissions are FREE although there is usually
a retiring collection in aid of the church concerned. We rehearse for one hour a week -
in our Monday lunch break. These two factors alone mark TREDICI out as rather different from many choirs. We strive to perform at near-professional standards and our ever-growing audience is testament to this achievement.
