Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Singers 28 September 1924
The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Singers were formed in 1924 as the Wireless Chorus. Their first broadcast was on 28 September, when they sung Mendelssohn's Elijah. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's professional chamber choir has been known by several names, from the Wireless Singers to the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Chorus, and also the Variety Chorus, Theatre Chorus and the Kentucky Minstrels. They finally became the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Singers in 1972. Their reputation over the years has been built on their ability to tackle over five centuries of choral music, though in particular the demanding cutting-edge contemporary repertoire.
