Next concert: Arise, my love
Friday 17 May at 7.30pm, St John’s Waterloo
In a thrillingly eclectic programme celebrating the power of love, we sing settings of the Song of Songs by Victoria, Palestrina, Guerrero, and John Sanders, tell of divine love in Kerensa Briggs' Ubi caritas, and explore earthly delights and sorrows in music by Finzi, Lassus, Pearsall, Clara Schumann, and Skempton. These themes are stunningly united in Francis Pott’s Amore Langueo and Bernard Hughes’ I Sing of Love.
New album release: Every Living Creature
We are delighted to have released Every Living Creature, our album of choral music by Kenneth Leighton, on the SOMM label - a Gramophone Critics’ Choice for 2023. Entirely devoted to the music of Kenneth Leighton, the new 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a number of significant premiere recordings - about two-thirds of the playing time - most notably of the magnificent unpublished cantata Laudes Animantium, for double choir, soloists and children’s chorus.
