WHAT WE DO

Transformational choral experiences

Choirs are living, breathing instruments fuelled by the primal force of the human voice and its power to move, challenge, console - to transform hearts and minds. 

Inspired by this belief, we share choral music we love to create spaces for reflection and renewal - whatever that means for you

From intimate a cappella performances to immersive vocal soundscapes - in a beautiful venue or through your headphones - we invite you to join us.

a sound that takes us beyond our everyday selves

Our name echoes the ancient Sanskrit word ‘samsara’ - the transformational experience of moving through life’s cycles.

The cycles of modern life can be overwhelming. Despite our digital connections, feelings of loneliness and social isolation are on the rise. Our work is rooted in the unique potential of choral music to enhance the mental and physical wellbeing of audiences and singers.

We engage with the complex, messy issues of our time.

Whether commissioning new music that brings refugee communities together, making a podcast about love and resistance, or using ensemble singing to support the journey through loss, we believe choral music can speak directly to those seeking creative responses to the challenges of today.

 

We are collaborative, experimental and forward-looking. Recent projects include partnerships with:
