Northern Praeclassica
The Northern Praeclassica is a chamber choir, nominally of about twenty-five members, based in Newcastle upon Tyne. It was formed in 1973 to perform music of the 16th Century, but the repertoire has since been extended to embrace music of all periods. Sacred and secular, accompanied and unaccompanied, large and small scale works all appear on the Choir's programmes. In a typical year the Choir stages three concerts, of which one per year is on a larger scale, given in aid of a charity, often attracting local external sponsorship. Northern Praeclassica is itself a registered Charity (Reg. 503478), and is a member of Making Music.
The choir meets every Monday during school term-times under its Musical Director, Simon Fidler, in Jesmond. It welcomes applications from appropriately experienced singers to join.
