ORA Singers - Miserere

Directed by Suzi Digby OBE, the multi-award winning ORA Singers celebrates one the world's most famous choral works, Miserere, by Gregorio Allegri. Drawing a link to the modern age, this programme ends with Sir James MacMillan's spellbinding setting of the same text used by Allegri in c.1630.

Between these two musical pillars are works by European masters of the Renaissance: Victoria, Lassus, and Palestrina, alongside contemporary 'reflections' by some of today's brightest musical minds. A new commission also features by acclaimed Scottish composer, Electra Perivolaris, setting text from William Drummond's 17th century poem, 'A Cypress Grove'.

THE ORA SINGERS

The award-winning ORA Singers is recognised for its modern take on the centuries-long choral tradition, and was born out of a belief that we are in a second golden age of choral music, matching that of the Renaissance. It is one of the world’s foremost commissioners of contemporary choral music, which it often performs alongside Renaissance masterpieces in its celebrated concerts and recordings. Since its description as "a musical comet", ORA Singers has continued to blaze a trail as one of the UK’s leading vocal ensembles. Directed by Suzi Digby OBE, the group was named Ensemble of the Year at the 2018 Opus Klassik awards, and has received critical acclaim both for its "unfailingly elegant" performances and its “superb and exciting” recordings. Their latest disc, Sanctissima, won the prestigious Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik in 2024.
