From Gregorian chant and Renaissance polyphony to zen Buddhism, young composers seek to reconsecrate their work

Vox Alba presents a showcase of contemporary composers grappling with the aesthetic crisis of our time. From Gregorian Chant and Renaissance Polyphony to Zen Buddhism, young composers seek to reconsecrate their work while embracing the language of post-modernism, with its textural possibilities of electronic manipulation and digital decay. This music aims to speak directly to our time while situating itself historically in a tradition of the sacred.

Featuring works from Gabriel Williams, Sophie Sparkes and Ng Yu Hng, performed by Cristina Cooper and Cameron Howe

Vox Alba’s mission is to repair the world of classical music patronage by revitalising a living concert culture, bringing contemporary composers to a contemporary audience.

Doors will open at 6.45pm with refreshments served, the concert will begin at 7pm and end at 8pm, followed by a drinks reception.
