POLYPHONY
choir

Britten Sinfonia performs Bach's Christmas Oratorio with Polyphony & Steven Layton in December 2025
Revered as 'one of the best small choirs now before the public' (Telegraph) and 'possibly the best small professional chorus in the world' (Encore Magazine, USA), Polyphony has performed and recorded regularly worldwide to great critical acclaim since it was founded by Stephen Layton in 1986.
In a poll by Gramophone Magazine they were named as one of the world’s leading choirs ‘Stephen Layton's choir have become renowned for both their sound and versatility – whether in early music, or contemporary works such as those of Eric Whitacre, they embody the remarkable tradition of British choral excellence at its finest.’
