Performance NotesInspirational music from the British Isles - It’s as true today as it was in Shakespeare’s time: ‘…these isles are full of noises / Sounds, and sweet airs that give delight’.

The five choirs and 750 voices of the National Youth Choirs of Great Britain are joined by a quartet of star soloists and the NYCGB Alumni Choir for a spectacular celebration of British choral traditions.

Travelling from the kaleidoscopic beauty of Thomas Tallis’s Renaissance masterpiece Spem in Alium to box-fresh new music by Vikki Stone, Kerry Andrew and James Rose, and embracing genres and traditions from across the UK, this is a concert to redefine your expectations of choral music.

The show was the culmination of a week's residential course.

London premiere of 'Antiphon', J Dove.
World premieres of 'Alleluia', J Rose, 'Who We Are', Kerry Andrews and 'The Things That Matters', Vicki Stone, the latter two composed by the NYCGB.

Composers Kerry Andrews and Vikki Stone were guests at the event.

The event was filmed by the promoter for archive use.
