In the Stillness: choral music for Advent and Christmas
Friday 13 December at Holy Sepulchre London
We celebrate Advent and Christmas with our customary feast of festive repertoire old and new. Beloved carols by Howells, Pearsall, and Warlock rub shoulders with fine contemporary works by Sally Beamish, John Casken, Richard Causton, Alec Roth, Roderick Williams, and Alison Willis, whilst John Joubert's virtuosic Rorate Coeli motets are offset by the mellifluous sounds of Gabrieli, Handl, and Byrd's heartbreakingly beautiful Ne irascaris, Domine. Wine and mince pies will be served!
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a number of significant premiere recordings - about two-thirds of the playing time - most notably of the magnificent unpublished cantata Laudes Animantium, for double choir, soloists and children’s chorus.
