Little Jazz Madrigals

Voix de Vivre presents a varied programme of choral music featuring Frank Martin’s Mass for Double Choir. Composed in the 1920s, but not performed until  1963, it is recognised as one of the great masterpieces of unaccompanied choral music.

We are delighted to welcome The Josh Gearing Trio for the second part of our programme, which includes jazz works by two well known contemporary composers. Will Todd’s Jazz Missa Brevis gives new life to the sung Latin Mass texts in an accessible, short setting embracing a variety of jazz styles. We round off the evening with Bob Chilcott’s witty reworking of well-known 16th and 17th century pieces in his Little Jazz Madrigals, written in 2022.

Please note that this concert will be on a Friday evening
