On Sunday we went to see the all women Schola Pietatis Antonio Vivaldi in their concert at St. George's Church, Bloomsbury. The group are attempting to re-construct the sound of Vivaldi's choir at the Pieta by using an all female group (including women basses). My review is here on Music and Vision.
You might also care to visit the group's Website where you can hear a recording the group made in 2005.
The further good news is that there are plans afoot for further performances in London.
