In this edition of ChoralCast, Sophie meets National Gallery educator Dr Tilly Scantlebury, alongside members of St Martin’s Voices, to explore the rich dialogue between visual art and choral music. Together, they reflect on how paintings can inspire sound, atmosphere, and emotional response.

Drawing connections between imagery, colour, light, and texture, they consider how choral music can mirror what we see on the gallery walls - and, in turn, reveal new layers of meaning in both art forms.

Featuring conversation, musical insight, and reflections on repertoire performed in this unique setting, this episode invites listeners to experience the National Gallery in a different way: not just as a place of looking, but of listening.

Do join us for our next Friday Lates at the National Gallery on Friday 23rd January at 6.15pm exploring the works of Edouard Manet.

Welcome to our second ChoralCast! Join us for our Christmas episode as we discuss our new album, A Babe is Born, with Director of Music Andrew Earis, composer Grace-Evangeline Mason and singer George Cook, a member of St Martin's Voices.

Welcome to our very first ChoralCast! Join us as we talk to our two new composers-in-association, Bob Chilcott and Lucy Walker, about their creative journeys, what inspires their music, and how they’re bringing fresh energy to the world of choral singing.
