London Concord Singers is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, the choir was founded in 1966 by the late Malcolm Cottle. As part of the celebrations the choir's new musical director Jessica Norton will be directing them in a 50th Anniversary Concert on Thursday December 8, 2017 at the Priory Church of the Order of St John, St John's Square, Clerkenwell Road (full details from the choir's website). In true Concord fashion, the programme will include three world premieres, my own Dominus illumination mea, a new Christmas motet written specially for the choir by conductor Jessica Norton, and the winning work in the choir's 50th Anniversary Composition Competition, Alison Willis's Thou has made me endless.
Tickets for the concert are £12 (including a festival glass of wine), with Under 25s at £5, available online from EventBrite. See the concert poster (PDF) for more details.
The choir has also had a new video created, by Laura Ruiz. You can see it below, but it is also available on Vimeo.
