Tomorrow (24th March), the JAM's season kicks off with a concert at St. Bride's Church, Fleet Street at 7.30pm. The Chapel Choir of Selwyn College, Cambridge, Onyx Brass, Daniel Cook (organ) and Nicholas Cleobury (conductor) will premiere Philip Cashian's All Things Wear Silence, and give the London premiere of Paul Mealor's Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal.
JAM are assiduous in commissioning and promoting new choral music, so not surprisingly the programme is complete with works by Tarik O'Regan, Stuart MacRea, Elizabeth Winters, Phillip Cook and Peter Nickol. O'Regan's piece, The Night's Untruth was JAM's 2010 commission.
Your chance to hear some pretty powerful music
