A programme of contemporary advent and Christmas music performed by Oxford based choir, Commotio. The choir specialises in 20th and 21st century choral music and is particularly recognised for its fine tuning, attention to detail and challenging repertoire. The name Commotio derives from the Latin for movement/excitement.
‘I defy anyone to sing better than Commotio!’ Bob Chilcott, composer
