For their second volume of Choral Inspirations, Sonoro has commissioned six more composers to each write a work inspired by a ‘choral classic’.  The composers are Rebecca Dale, Michael Higgins, Cecilia McDowell, Oliver Tarney, Gareth Treseder and Errollyn Wallen.   The new commissions have been written at a level for amateur choirs, without being simplistic.  As well as introducing six more fantastic new works into the choral repertoire, our aim is to encourage amateur choirs to have the confidence to sing contemporary music, and the pieces that inspired them, through a series of workshops and side-by-side performances supported by our highly accomplished professional singers.
