Beauty for Ashes

We are delighted to be returning to St Pancras Church to perform highlights from a new recording due out in 2023 – Beauty for Ashes. This will promote new choral works by some of the UK’s foremost contemporary choral composers. Whilst the programme includes well-known names from classical music such as Bob Chilcott and Judith Weir, it also showcases newer voices such as Alison Willis and Sarah Macdonald. Six of the composers featured on the recording are women, and their work exemplifies the enormous contribution female composers are making to the English choral tradition, in a genre where they have historically been under-represented and under-recorded.
