THANK YOU

Here is a video of Britten’s beautifully haunting ‘A Hymn to the Virgin’, recorded live at our Storm of Light concert last month. A gift to thank you for all your support and encouragement this year. We hope you enjoy it. Very best wishes from all of us at Platinum Consort.
We are so proud to release this behind-the-scenes film showcasing our most ambitious choral workshop to date: Tallis' monumental 40-part motet, Spem in Alium. Read more about the project here.
Our Storm of Light concert was a triumph! We had a wonderful time singing to a fantastic audience in the glorious surroundings of St Giles' Cripplegate. In addition to music by Palestrina, Eric Whitacre and Britten, we were honoured to perform four world premieres; a gorgeous prayer by David Ianni and three of most of the sublime and haunting pieces of music by our Composer in Residence, Richard Bates. Our sincere thanks go to Platinum Choral Foundation and all our followers for making the evening feel very special indeed!
Sunday 4th November: Tune in to BBC Radio 3 to hear an exclusive Platinum Consort performance and interview with Aled Jones.

4 STARS for In The Dark from Choir & Organ Magazine

“The alchemical symbol for platinum is a union of silver and gold and that is the quality of the Consort’s singing, naturally bright even in solemn context, but richly toned and weighty where required.”

5 STARS for In The Dark at Kings Place from Bachtrack, written by Fran Wilson:
“Their voices float, soar, and whisper, while creating both an exquisite intimacy and an expansive grandeur, as the text demands...their scrupulous attention to detail, and immaculate intonation and articulation made this a performance of spine-tingling beauty and conviction.”
