Londinium

This summer Londinium makes its first visit to Belgium, presenting a feast of outstanding music by British composers from the seventeenth century to the present day. The programme includes masterpieces by Elgar, Stanford and Vaughan Williams, madrigals and motets by the Renaissance composers Byrd, Gibbons and Weelkes, and superb contemporary works by Kerensa Briggs, Bernard Hughes and Cecilia McDowall. The choir will also perform music by the English Renaissance composer Peter Philips, who made his career in Antwerp, and by the Flemish master Pierre de la Rue, resident at Margaret of Austria's court at Mechelen.

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 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a number of significant premiere recordings - about two-thirds of the playing time - most notably of the magnificent unpublished cantata Laudes Animantium, for double choir, soloists and children’s chorus.
