a leading, independent classical record label

The Clerks' Group made its London debut in 1992 and has been responsible for releasing many works from library shelves or manuscripts into the performing arena. The group particularly specialises in the Flemish repertoire, and is noted for their interpretation of the works of Johannes Ockeghem, undoubtedly the most renowned composer of the late 15th century. Their recordings have earned them three nominations for Gramophone magazine's Early Music award and, in 1997, the award itself. 

The group has performed extensively in the UK and in Europe: the last two years have seen trips to Germany, France, Spain, Holland, Belgium and Iceland. In the autumn of 1999, the group made its debut tour of the United States, giving concerts in, amongst other cities, Los Angeles, New York, Houston, Washington D.C. and Atlanta. A second trip took place in February 2001. The choir has been featured on the radio both in the UK and on the continent, and has recently made a programme for Belgian television.
