Description
Prima Facie is pleased to announce the release of Musica Sancta as part of a new series, Reticere, which aims to promote unsung heroes of music, both composers and performers. This new album from the chamber choir Kantos and their director Elspeth Slorach focusses on music for the Christmas period by composer David W. Jepson.
Reticere mines the rich seam of contemporary British music. Many professional composers hone their creative voices away from the spotlight, working as teachers, performers, scholars and writers whilst building their individual catalogues and maintaining a lifelong course of artistic development. Prima Facie's Reticeres series showcases vibrant and communicative music which might otherwise go unperformed, unrecorded and unheard.
Kantos Chamber Choir was founded in 2015 by Ellie Slorach. The choir comprises the top choral singers across the North who have begun or are about to begin their professional careers. Since its formation, Kantos has risen to the forefront of choral singing in Manchester and the North West. The choir prides itself on the originality of its concerts, performing both well-known and new compositions in innovative and exciting ways.
