Schola Cantorum Siesta
A new choral group founded in the English Cathedral tradition

in the English Cathedral Tradition having been composed over a period of more than 600 years, from Tallis, Viadana and Palestrina through

to Tavener, Archer and Hancock. In pursuit of musical excellence, this group, Schola Cantorum Siesta, is based around professional singersDSCF1414
