“Gloriously assured and superbly committed”
Gramophone
Directed by Andrew Griffiths, Londinium is one of London’s most versatile chamber choirs.
Next concert: The Garden of Earthly Delights
Friday 10 October, Holy Sepulchre Holborn at 7.30pm
Londinium launches its twentieth anniversary season with a typically seductive programme inspired by Hieronymus Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights. Our musical journey through this astonishing triptych leads us from Creation and Eden into Bosch's famous garden of unbridled lust, decadence, and excess — and the grotesque hellscape which looms alongside. The repertoire reflects the breath of Bosch's prodigious imagination: luscious Renaissance motets and chansons are balanced by outstanding recent works, whilst our programme is crowned by the passionate sounds of Pizzetti's Dies irae.
Latest album: 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 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a number of significant premiere recordings - about two-thirds of the playing time - most notably of the magnificent unpublished cantata Laudes Animantium, for double choir, soloists and children’s chorus.
