Sponsor a Minute of Music on our next recording

Help us to release a recording of music by our former Composer in Residence.

We invite you to help support the Choir by sponsoring a minute of music on a premiere recording of music by our former Composer in Residence, Michael Finnissy.

We are grateful to the generosity of our supporters in helping maintain our commitment to recording excellence. Establishing our own record label in 2016 gave us the artistic freedom to determine what repertoire we record and to bring commissioned works by composers with close ties to the College to a wider audience.

About the recording

The recording premieres Finnissy’s nine-work cycle - Anthems & Voluntaries - written for choir, organ, chamber organ, flute and violin. The recording is the culmination of the hard work, commitment and talent of both Choir and Composer, producing new music that is deserving of a wider audience through a commercial release.

You can support one minute of music with a gift of £100.

In return, you will:
