Ensemble Sonoro
Neil Ferris, direction

The London-based chamber choir Sonoro, with conductor Neil Ferris, follow up their acclaimed debut album with an absorbing and characterful programme of works for Christmas. Striking a balance between new compositions, re-setting of familiar texts and new arrangements of familiar tunes, topped off with a few festive favourites, Sonoro bring their distinctive warm and rounded tone to the festive season.
