traces
We’re excited to share details about the release of our latest album - Traces.
Available on all streaming platforms from Friday 17 February, Traces features a wide range of powerful choral music by German, British and Ukrainian composers. The programme originates in our White Rose project and grapples with the challenge of finding inner peace during fractured times.
In advance of the full album release, we have two singles coming out on 3 and 10 February - Ethel Smyth’s stunning Komm, süsser Tod and a short prayer by Rudolf Mauersberger called Herr, lehre doch mich. You can see the full programme and album artwork below and we’ll be sharing more about the album in the coming weeks on our social media channels.
