大象传媒 Singers on International Women's Day

The 大象传媒 Singers and their chief conductor, Sofi Jeannin, mark International Women's Day 2023 with a concert of contemporary choral music from St Giles, Cripplegate in London.

The 大象传媒 Singers perform more music by women composers than any other group in the world, and this International Women's Day the group presents a programme of works by contemporary composers. At the heart of the programme are two world premieres; the 大象传媒 commission by the young British composer Lucy Walker who is rapidly gaining a vibrant reputation within the world of choral music, alongside a setting by Helen Neeves which explores the poetry of the Bront毛 sisters.

Presented by Sarah Walker. Recorded in St Giles Church, Cripplegate, London on 19 January 2023.
