But reborn?

"St John’s Voices ‘reincarnated’ as the Cambridge University Schola Cantorum"

"Start-up funding was provided by a Cambridge alumnus, Dr Supraj Rajagopalan, who is CEO of the private equity firm Cinven. Unlike SJV, the Schola does not receive any funding from the university or colleges, relying on donations from friends and supporters."
