Peter Phillips director

In 1973, Peter Phillips, then an undergraduate organ scholar in Oxford, founded a group dedicated to the performance of Renaissance polyphony. 50 years, and well over 2300 performances later, they are the premier modern interpreters of this music, while also developing fruitful relationships with the cream of today’s composers.

This concert – their first ever in St Albans – celebrates those 50 years. The programme honours the composer and the style that have (literally) made the group’s name, while also reaching right up to the present by including several modern figures who have been inspired by that distinctive sound.
