VOCES8

VOCES8

Filmed live at the iconic St Martin-in-the-Fields in the heart of London, VOCES8 welcomes the festive season with a programme that journeys through centuries of Christmas music, from Renaissance polyphony and ancient chant to much-loved carols and contemporary favourites.

At the heart of the programme are some of the richest traditions of Christmas choral music, before VOCES8 turns to a selection of jazz and pop arrangements. Intimate, joyful and filled with the warmth of voices singing together, This Endris Night celebrates Christmas through music both ancient and new.

APOLLO5

APOLLO5

APOLLO5 returns to LIVE From London with Noël Nouvelet, a festive programme that brings together music from across the centuries – from medieval chant and English Renaissance polyphony to twentieth-century choral classics and contemporary works.

At its heart is Francis Poulenc's 'Quatre motets pour le temps de Noël', four atmospheric settings that trace scenes from the Nativity, from the hushed wonder of the manger to the radiant joy of Christ's birth.

Lyyra

Lyyra

From the candlelit traditions of Scandinavia to the warmth and swing of an American Christmas, Lyyra brings a fresh perspective to the season. The six-voice all-female ensemble journeys across centuries, countries and musical traditions in a programme shaped by winter, reflection and joy.

The Mancunium Consort

Rising Manchester-based vocal ensemble The Mancunium Consort brings its imaginative approach to choral programming to the Christmas story.

Along the way, contrasting musical traditions offer different perspectives on a story that has inspired composers for generations.
