SCHOLARS OF LONDON
Hailed as one of the world's musical treasures, The Scholars of London has given at least 2,500 concerts in more than 50 countries, a record which can be rivaled by very few ensembles in the field of chamber music. 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. Although it began as an all-male ensemble, as early as 1972, the group changed to include a female voice. The group's sparkling performances, enlivened by humorous commentary, span five centuries of madrigals, folksongs, sacred music and much more from many countries. Saturday, Jan. 20, 8 p.m. Mitchell Hall
