Next concert: Fireworks
Friday 13 February, St John’s Waterloo at 7.30pm
Londinium’s twentieth birthday celebration has a spectacular selection of favourite choral works exploring the power of music and the human voice. The concert includes the world premiere of Nico Muhly's Abidynge, glorious motets by Monteverdi and Byrd, showpieces by Walton, Stanford, Leighton, Ravel and Elliott Carter, and fine recent music by Gabriel Jackson and Will Harmer. Our programme is crowned by Schoenberg's mighty Friede auf Erden.
John Joubert recording
We are thrilled to announce that this summer we plan to record an album of choral music by John Joubert on the SOMM label - most of it previously unrecorded - for release in 2027, marking the centenary of his birth. Please do visit our Crowdfunding Page to find out more about this exciting project, and explore the rewards available for our supporters!
Latest album: Every Living Creature
Every Living Creature, our album of choral music by Kenneth Leighton, was released on the SOMM label in 2023, and was a Gramophone Critics’ Choice for that year. Entirely devoted to the music of Kenneth Leighton, the album includes a number of significant premiere recordings - about two-thirds of the playing time - most notably of the magnificent unpublished cantata Laudes Animantium, for double choir, soloists and children’s chorus.
