Commotio are thrilled to welcome renowned composer and conductor Bob Chilcott, joined by assistant conductor Tim Robson, for a radiant summer concert exploring the extraordinary breadth of contemporary choral music from across the globe.
This specially curated programme brings together shimmering sound worlds, bold rhythmic invention, and the sheer expressive power of the human voice. From ancient Swedish kulning to modern a cappella brilliance, from hymn-like meditations to jazz infused colour, this is a journey through choral music at its most imaginative.
Whatever the weather, Commotio’s summer concert promises an evening of colour, creativity, and choral brilliance.
Works to include:
I himmelen Karin Rehnkvist
The Lamb Suzanna Kozeij
Hymn to the Creator of Light. John Rutter
All seems beautiful to me Eric Whitacre
Come Holy Ghost Jonathan Harvey
Weather Report Bob Chilcott
Sing to the moon Laura Mvula
En la macarenita arr. Bob Chilcott
Take him earth for cherishing Herbert Howells
World O World Jacob Collier
Today Lucy Walker
My beloved spake Becky McGlade
