Commotio
Programme Note
Commotio welcome you to the very start of the Advent season, with a concert of contemporary choral gems. Bob Chilcott's Advent Antiphons are a scintillating delight for both singer and audience, combining ancient plain song with beautiful and evocative polyphony.
Commotio are sure their choral performance will be as eagerly anticipated as the delights of the choir's annual mince pie bake-off, which will be available during the concert interval.
