OUR HISTORY IN ENGLAND
Gloriæ Dei Cantores has a long history with the United Kingdom, going back to 1988 when they took their first international tour to England. The choir studied for over three decades with numerous British instructors including Dr. George Guest, the late Stephen Cleobury, Dr. Mary Berry, Dorothy Richardson, and Joanna Weir Ouston. They have performed concerts, and sung both Evensong and Eucharist services across the United Kingdom.
”The choir has a large repertoire and its high standards rival those of the great European choirs. They bring musicianship, enthusiasm, and total commitment to all they undertake and, consequently, their many concerts have received the highest critical acclaim.”
The late Dr. George Guest, Fellow, Choirmaster and Organist, St. John’s College, Cambridge, England
