About the event
St Martin’s Voices and Artist in Residence Imogen Whitehead present a programme of music for choir and trumpet, featuring visions of heaven in James MacMillan’s timeless In splendoribus sanctorum and Jonathan Dove’s Oh this wondrous sea, contrasted with the more earthly delights of a rural English railway platform in Phillip Cooke’s Invocation. The programme also includes the first performance of a new work by Emily Hazrati.Â
