New recording with The Choir of Royal Holloway
In July 2022 I'll be recording a new album of my choral music with one of the UK's finest choirs - The Choir of Royal Holloway. I'm thrilled to be sharing this new music with you. The melodies have been dancing around my head for many months, and are now bursting to get out into the world!
The album will be released internationally by Convivium Records. As well as the new pieces, we’ll also be making a new recording of Requiem, with orchestral accompaniment from Southern Sinfonia.
