In This Wondrous Burst of Starlight

Story written by David McConnell

In This Wondrous Burst of Starlight

Vox Philia begins its second decade with a special concert featuring internationally acclaimed composer Will Todd. In 2018 the choir commissioned a new carol from Todd to celebrate our tenth anniversary, and the work will be premiered in this concert: In This Wondrous Burst of Starlight.

Todd’s anthem, The Call of Wisdom, was performed at the Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations with a TV audience of 45 million people. His breakthrough work, Mass in Blue (originally titled Jazz Mass), has been performed hundreds of times all over the world. He has collaborated with award winning choirs The Sixteen and Tenebrae, as well as with the Welsh National Opera, Opera North, Opera Holland Park, BBC Singers, BBC Concert Orchestra, The Halle Orchestra, the English Chamber Orchestra, The Bach Choir, St Martin’s Voices.

The program includes several other works by Todd, as well as two other carols commissions by local composer David Himes and Bucks County native Peter de Mets.

Wish my town had a channel like this, very cool idea to bring the community together and give people a platform.

I wanted to thank you again for the opportunity you have created for our kids.  This experience is more than the TV show.  Eight students who probably never would have talked to each other were excited to execute a plan. Know that you make a difference.
