Londinium is delighted to announce the appointment of Stephen Farr and Andrew Griffiths as Joint Musical Directors (press release). Both of these talented conductors have previously worked with Londinium, and they are alternating in the direction of a wide-ranging programme of concerts over the 2011/12 season. The second concert, The Elements, will be conducted by Stephen Farr at 7.30pm on Thursday 9th February at Holy Trinity Sloane Square.

Londinium is a dynamic choral ensemble with a growing reputation for its performances of unusual a cappella repertoire within innovative and varied programmes. Since its début in November 2005, this versatile group has been noted for its 'fine line and clear sound' and 'lovely transparency of texture' (Robert Hugill, Music and Vision).

Londinium has received praise from contemporary composers Robin Holloway, Cecilia McDowall, who "found the sound of your choir just gorgeous - both luscious and true" in a programme which included her setting of Regina Caeli (May 2009) and Eric Whitacre, for whom Londiniuim gave "One of the most beautiful performances of Sleep I have ever heard" (November 2010).

In May 2010 Londinium featured in the Classical Brit Awards at the Royal Albert Hall as the chorus in live performances by Bryn Terfel and Rolando Villazón. The ensemble has performed at the British Library and Cliveden House, and for Special Olympics Great Britain. In May 2011 Londinium provided a little light music at a fabulous gala dinner for the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation to celebrate the artist's 80th birthday.

On 4 June 2011 Londinium gave the World Première of Perpetual Light: Requiem for an Unscorched Earth, by Jessica Curry, at the Old Vic Tunnels: 'a dark, tormented piece, punctuated by moments of brightness...that radiated hope, the emotional thread that tied the whole piece together. From start to finish, Londinium perfectly captured this delicate emotion...' (Kay Kempin bachtrack).
