This programme weaves together luminous contemporary choral writing, intimately reflective pieces, and electrifying spirituals.

Eric Whitacre is one of the most performed choral composers of our time, and this is a chance to see him conducting his own group in some of his much-loved works, including Lux Aurumque, Water Night, and i carry your heart. Also in the programme is Sing to the Moon, a beautiful song by Laura Mvula with whom Eric has collaborated and performed many times, and music from fellow American composer, Jennifer Lucy Cook.

The second half brings a new energy with re-imagined modern classics and the irresistible energy of Moses Hogan’s spirituals, culminating in Whitacre’s haunting arrangement of Hurt.
