Recording Day
4th May 2025
What an incredible day the choir had yesterday for their recording day at the Voces8 Centre in London. Thank you to the 100+ supporters who donated to the Friends of the Vox Crowdfunder in support of the project.
The choir professionally recorded the three winning entries from the Friends of the Vox Emerging Composers competition. They also recorded a new commission by Cecilia McDowall and two favourite movements from Kim Andre Arnesen's Stabat Mater.
Thank you as ever to maestro James Meaders, pianist Richard Hammond Hall and violinist Flo Peycelon, for your leadership, musicianship, and friendship. Finally, a special mention to the recording engineer for the day Alexander Van Ingen. Your expertise, encouragement, patience, and humour made the whole experience such a joy.

Collaboration with Woldingham School
26th March 2025
Members of Vox Anima Chamber Choir joined the Woldingham School Junior and Senior Choirs, directed by Victoria Milnes, last night to support a moving performance of Cecilia McDowall's Everyday Wonders: The Girl from Aleppo. The performance followed an afternoon workshop two weeks before. Many thanks to the Director of Music, Richard Hammond-Hall, for inviting Vox Anima Chamber Choir to take part in this wonderful concert. The choir were warmly welcomed and blown away by the talent and energy showcased by the students.
