The Meljon Singers are one of London's most accomplished and enterprising chamber choirs and are celebrating their 20th Anniversary in 2010. Based in the London Borough of Redbridge, the group performs regularly in local and central London venues, and appears by invitation in other parts of the UK. In 2009 the group visited Italy for the fourth time, with appearances at the Rassegna Corale International Festival at Levanto and the Cinque Terre.

With their founder Musical Director Janette Ruocco, the Meljon Singers bring to their performances a spirit of adventure and a passion for music-making. Their concerts include music as diverse Palestrina's 16th century polyphony, Romantic classics like Brahms' Ein Deutsches Requiem, modern minimalist masters such as John Tavener and Arvo Pärt and the wealth of new choral writing from all over the world. The group's repertoire is constantly expanding, offering audiences fresh and original programmes devised to shed new light on familiar works and to explore little-known or unjustly neglected music.
