Choral music has long been at the heart of the distinguished musical career of contemporary composer Martin Bussey - as a director, a singer, and in writing for the medium. Acclaimed London vocal consort Sonoro, with it's co-artistic directors Neil Ferris (conductor) and Michael Higgins (organ), explores a broad range of Bussey's sacred choral music with this captivating programme of world premiere recordings that at once presents a composer with passion and a unique voice, and whose works have contributed much to the genre. Sonoro, founded in 2016 by Neil Ferris and Michael Higgins, has attracted attention for it's warm tone, rich blend of colors and vibrancy in performance. 'Sonoro' in Italian means 'sonorous, voices that are rich and full' and Sonoro lives up to that name as a choir with a distinctive and perfectly blended sound.
