Sound Frontiers: Choral Music Now and into the Future

As part of Sound Frontiers - Radio 3 Live at Southbank Centre, Josie D'Arby presents a special edition exploring the world of choral music from the present and into the future.

As part of Radio 3 live at Southbank Centre, London, Josie D'Arby in this special edition of The Choir explores the world of choral music from the present and into the future. There'll be live performances of Brazilian Sambas by the vocal group Nossa Voz, and a look at the recent Utopia project with the composer Boff Whalley, where singers from across the UK came together to form a choir demographically representing urban Britain. Director of Music at Clare College, Cambridge Graham Ross, and Southbank Participation Producer Holly Hunter, also discuss their choral projects whilst making predictions for the choral world in the future.
