EXAUDI Records Chromatic Renaissance Leading UK based vocal ensemble EXAUDI records its ground-breaking and internationally successful Chromatic Renaissance programme

I recently became a trustee of EXAUDI Vocal Ensemble, and we’re raising funds to record groundbreaking 16th-century microtonal music - never recorded before!
