Voices Now

The Voices Now Festival harnesses the recent groundswell of interest in singing in the UK by bringing together professional and community choirs with a diverse range of abilities, genres and backgrounds.

It started as a ground-breaking four-day event at Camden’s Roundhouse, attended by over 7000 people in 2011.

We plan to have Voices Now events in Derry (as part of an International Choral Festival), Omagh and Enniskillen in October 2013. The festival will include a major new commission by Eriks Esenvalds, featuring Imogen Heap, composed for a wide range of choirs including young people’s and community groups. It will also feature the Holst Singers, described by the BBC as ‘a leading chorus on the international stage’, along with their conductor Stephen Layton.
