Zoned Seating

The Clerks Songbook presents a miscellany of works, past and present, representing our increasingly varied repertoire: ranging from 14th century Italian caccia (as re-invented by Ian McMillan), through 15th and 16th century laments by Dufay, Ockeghem, Obrecht and others, to Christopher Fox's quirky settings of personal ads and spam e-mail - a 21st century equivalent to Orlando Gibbon's 17th century 'Cries of London'.

The Clerks

The Clerks formed at Oxford University and made its professional London debut in 1992. In recent years the ensemble has expanded its repertoire to include contemporary work and collaborations. They have performed at the BBC Proms, the Barbican and the Queen Elizabeth Hall, and regularly appear at festivals throughout Europe and the United States. Recently, The Clerks have been developing collaborative projects under the banner of Raising Voices, which is linked to their continuing residency at The St Ethelburga's Centre for Reconciliation and Peace in Bishopsgate, London.
