St Martin’s Voices: Songs of Justice by MacMillan, Moore, P. J., McDowall, Curry, J., No (2024/2024), Diriģents Andrew Earis, St Martin-in-the-Fields, London, United Kingdom

Part of the Choral Discovery Concerts series – inviting you to discover some lesser known but utterly beautiful choral music in short concerts with St Martin’s Voices. In this poignant and powerful programme, St Martin’s Voices explore musical responses to injustice. The concert opens with James MacMillan’s Cantos Sagrados, a remarkable setting of religious texts and protest poetry, written in solidarity with victims of political repression in Latin America. Alongside works by Philip Moore and Jessica Curry, the programme also features Cecilia McDowall’s Standing as I do before God which explores the final words of WW1 heroine Edith Cavell, whose memorial statue is located just outside St Martin-in-the-Fields.
