Oeuvre: Reges Tharsis

The Sixteen launched us into the final days before Christmas with a well-thought out and diverse combination of songs on The Three Kings.

After the overload of concerts and carol singing around Christmas, most choirs have a well-deserved break before starting for another year, but not Vivamus. This young London-based choir entered 2013 in style with a candlelit concert for Epiphany. The concert’s main advertised work was Britten’s A Ceremony of Carols, with other composers on the programme including Leighton, Howells and Whitacre.
