Choir of the 21st Century

CC21 is made up of some of London’s most experienced amateur singers, performing a repertoire which is deliberately broad, both sacred and secular, to reflect the depth and richness of the choral music which is our heritage. The choir’s recordings on the SOMM label include both the Elgar and Kodály versions of The Music Makers, Philip Glass’s Another Look at Harmony–Part IV and Mátyás Seiber a cappella. Our conductor is former Kings College Organ Scholar Richard Gowers, now Director at St George's Hanover Square. Recent work has included the Rachmaninov Vespers, Strauss Deutsche Motette, Britten Sacred and Profane, Castelnuovo-Tedesco's Romancero Gitano and Frank Martin Songs of Ariel and Mass for Double Choir.
