Overview

A stunning choral and orchestral working of the story of CREATION by Dan Forrest, using a setting of modern and ancient texts.

An evening of choral delight as a massed choir sings CREATION by Dan Forrest. Conducted by Vox Anima London Founder and Artistic Director, James Meaders, enjoy the stunning texts and music that celebrate the wonders and beauties of the world.

First conducted by James Meaders in Ely Cathedral in 2025, James is thrilled to be working with the same soloists - Nikki Eoute and James Newby. You can watch a short clip of the concert here

The composer, Dan Forrest (who will be at the concert) writes, “…I wanted to capture the beauty of life on this planet, and the wonder of its origin, in my own musical language. In a sense, it’s a score to my own mental Planet Earth film – of beauty that I’ve encountered both at home and in my travels abroad. I hope this work overwhelms its listener with the wonder and joy that still shines through in our world.”
