Presented by Petroc Trelawny

The 大象传媒 Singers live from the Roundhouse in London as part of the Voices Now festival, together with the Latvian Radio Choir.

In a fascinating cross-cultural musical experience, two of the world's great radio choirs showcase the very different choral traditions of their respective countries and regions for the Voices Now festival, which celebrates the UK's unique vocal heritage and vibrant contemporary singing culture, and brings together singers from all backgrounds and abilities with some of the world's leading choirs.

After exhibiting their own individual talents, the two choirs join forces for the first performance of a piece by 大象传媒 Singers Associate Composer Gabriel Jackson, which places them side-by-side in a bilingual celebration of the two groups' distinctive choral personalities.
