Our dedication to artistic integrity is constant and undiminished, as is our commitment to singing challenging music and a highly diverse and innovative repertoire that ranges from Gregorian chant to gospel, folk, jazz and contemporary classics. The music we sing regularly demonstrates our passion for newly composed works and our enthusiasm for encouraging new compositional talent. For many years we have been Warner Classics #1 seller of classical CDs.
