Pegasus is one of London's leading young chamber choirs, made up of around 20 voices. We take our name from the winged horse of mythology, which is the symbol for Robinson College, Cambridge, where the group was first formed. We have performed in many prestigious venues in the capital, including the Almeida Theatre, the Queen Elizabeth Hall and Lambeth Palace, and with a wide variety of celebrities ranging from Valerie Singleton and Sebastian Coe to Michael Ball and Brian Blessed. The choir has sung live on Radio 3, featured on Radio 4's Morning Service, and also appeared in the Channel 4 premiere of Jonathan Dove's opera When She Died - about Princess Diana. Christmas is always a busy time of year for us, and this year is no exception. Last year we were invited by Radio 4 to record their service for Christmas morning, under the musical direction of John Rutter, and featuring the carols of this world-famous composer. This year were are joined by Chris Tarrant in a concert in aid of the Princess Alice Hospice. |
