THIS UNCERTAIN WORLD: WAR, PASSION AND LOVE

Join Invicta Voices and Invicta Upper Voices for a programme of music that brings together the emotions of war, passion and love.

The modern world can be an uncertain and daunting place and the works presented in this concert will take listeners on a journey of discovery in to choral music from the 20th and 21st century.

Highlighting the works of female composers, this concert will also feature pieces from their male counterparts as well as specifically commissioned pieces for the Equator Women of the World Festival.

 


Invicta Voices and Invicta Upper Voices are London based chamber choirs. Invicta Voices was formed in October 2014, giving its first performance in March 2015 and Invicta Upper Voices was launched in concert in October 2016. The singers come from all walks of life, including; teachers, lawyers, financiers and film producers to name just a few. Although having a diverse range of backgrounds, a shared passion for music and choral singing unites the group to continue making music. Meeting bi-weekly, each choir enjoys exploring a wide range of choral music from traditional pieces by composers such as Byrd and Hassler through to contemporary choral pieces by Gjeilo, Patterson and Whitacre.  Performances to date have included the University of Kent’s 50th Anniversary Celebrations at the House of Lords, and concerts at Canterbury Cathedral, the Colyer-Fergusson Hall, St. James’s Piccadilly, Leichlingen, St Luke’s Church in Maidenhead, St. Saviour’s Church in Dartmouth and at the Gresham Centre in London.
