Choir

Founded in 1965 under the direction of Nicholas Braithwaite in London, United Kingdom. The Saltarello Choir appears on a recording (1977) with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Elmer Bernstein (Miklós Rózsa’s Thief of Bagdad) and with Robert Beatty as narrator on Christmas Story (1968).
