Commotio

Programme Note

Commotio returns to SJE Arts with a summer programme filled with magical texts and intricate harmonies. From stories of doomed knights and alluring fae, and mysterious Presences  to tales of lovers lost in London, or those out of love with London, Matthew Berry has selected rare choral gems from British choral composers of the past century.
