The BBC has released the program of the BBC Signers Contemporary Christmas Carols
The description states: "In the stunning setting of Temple Church, London, Chief Conductor Sofi Jeannin and organist Ashley Grote join the BBC Singers in a survey of carols including the world premiere of a BBC Commission by Grace Rossiter."
The concert will be held on December 21, 2023 at Temple Church, London.
In this, their debut recording with Resonus Classics, St Martin's Voices presents a selection of contemporary choral works for the Christmas season. With settings of poetry from the fifteenth century to the present day, these new carols explore themes of winter snowscapes, the anticipation and contemplation of Advent, the Christmas story as seen by the women at its heart, and the joy of coming in from the cold to celebrate together.
In a programme made entirely of premiere recordings, this album features works by Cecilia McDowall, Roderick Williams and Lucy Walker, among others. The album also boasts a major new carol suite by Bob Chilcott, with libretto by Georgia Way entitled Mary, Mother, which was premiered by the ensemble in 2022.
