New Liszt Ferenc Chamber Choir Presented by Liszt Academy

This evening promises to be a fascinating moment when two superb jazz musicians team up with New Liszt Ferenc Chamber Choir. The programme, organized around the topic of migration and exile, includes the setting of poems to music by European composers, as well as jazz arrangements and spirituals. Conductor for the recital, and at the same time composer of one half of the programme, is a teacher of jazz composition at the London Royal Academy of Music and head of the jazz voice department of the Brussels Conservatoire. Pete Churchill and his choir have worked with the likes of Bobby McFerrin, Kenny Wheeler and Norma Winstone; for this keynote concert, we have Nikki Iles, winner of the 2017 Brit Jazz Award, on piano.
