Matthew Coleridge is a great force for good in the choral world Alexander Armstrong, Classic FM
REQUIEM is one of the UK's most popular new choral works. An intensely beautiful and deeply moving piece, it has captured the hearts of singers and audiences around the world. In 2024 it was voted into the top 50 of Classic FM's Hall of Fame, one of the highest-ranked pieces of contemporary music in the chart.
THE BREATH OF LIFE is a stunning new choral work, bursting with memorable tunes and Matthew Coleridge's glorious harmonies. Setting texts from the psalms and hymns, alongside words from writers including Christopher Smart, Kahlil Gibran, John Muir and Albert Einstein, it is full of joy and beauty. This will be its second performance, following a premiere at Buckfast Abbey, Devon in March 2025.
