Renowned composer Will Todd is excited to be working with award winning choir Voices of Hope on a new project to record some of his previously unrecorded works for voices and piano and strings. From the simple beauty and impact of ‘All Will Be Well’ through to the ultra lyrical ‘We Are Laid Asleep’ this album promises to showcase Will Todd’s expressive words, melodies and harmonies. The album will feature Will Todd playing piano and the Will Todd Ensemble alongside Voices of Hope. It is particularly special for Will to be working back in his home region of North East England where he grew up and whose culture and stories have influenced much of his work.
Voices of Hope are a celebrated chamber choir based in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in the North East of England. Since the choir formed in 2011, it has gained wide-spread recognition and success, most notably being championed as 2016 National Choir of the Year. Voices of Hope are thrilled to be working with Durham-born composer Will Todd to record a selection of his beautiful choral music.
