About This Event

The Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Singers celebrate their 100th birthday and look forward to the future with a host of star artists and special guests including Eric Whitacre, Anna Lapwood, and Abel Selaocoe. They are joined by musicians from the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Symphony Orchestra and the evening is hosted by Clive Myrie and Georgia Mann.

On 2 October 1924, the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Wireless Chorus gave their first performance. Now known as the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Singers, they have evolved over the past 100 years to become trailblazers in choral music from multiple genres and given numerous world premiere performances, as well as collaborating with the finest orchestras, conductors and artists from around the world.

Alongside music associated with the group such as Bach's sparkling motet 'Lobet den Herrn alle Heiden' and Bernstein's Chichester Psalms, the night's audience will enjoy repertoire from the lighter side of their work including a whistlestop tour of musicals by Iain Farrington and a world premiere from their Composer in Association, Roderick Williams.

Join us for a birthday party unlike any other!
