'In the Heart of Things' CD launch concert

Celebrating the launch of their latest CD on the Naxos label, Commotio present the best of their repertoire, old and new. Featuring two movements from Pott’s immense mass for 8 voices (shortlisted for British Composer Awards 2011) and several shorter works from the new CD, Commotio will also perform their favourite works from past recordings, including Richard Allain’s acclaimed ‘Night’, which was commissioned for the choir (with Katherine Jenkinson: Cello).

Please join Francis Pott, Commotio and their director, Matthew Berry for this night of celebration! The concert will be followed by a short reception. Please contact Val Withams [email protected] if you would like to attend.

“as a supreme choral polyphonist Pott can build up an agitated climax with the best of them - but it is those melting moments of repose which are especially telling and memorable...Grace Davidson floats effortlessly above the Oxford-based choir, adding her seraphic poise to their perfect intonation...this is a powerful disc of important music.” Gramophone Magazine, February 2012
