The ensemble’s innovative work is now as much online as it is live, including collaborative cross-art projects on stages around the world and short (multi award-winning) music videos with Polyphonic Films. Search: Goosed! and The Stag Hunt. The group’s YouTube series, SingTheScore, combines serious analysis with off-the-wall humour while Choral Chihuahua, presented by Robert Hollingworth, Nicholas Mulroy and Eamonn Dougan, is the top UK choral podcast and is now in its ninth season.

Signature projects include the fully immersive The Full Monteverdi and Betrayal (dir. John La Bouchardière); Tallis in Wonderland (with live and recorded voice); Simunye, the South African collaboration; and How Like An Angel with Australian contemporary circus company CIRCA for the 2012 Cultural Olympiad and also at Perth International Arts Festival, Lincoln Center, New York, and in cathedrals across Europe.

Monteverdi programmes from L’Orfeo (dir.Tom Guthrie) with masks and puppets and 1610 & 1641 Vespers; and Leonardo—Shaping The Invisible, with Prof. Martin Kemp and projections of Leonardo’s art and designs.
