Created in Birmingham

After their 40th anniversary last year, Ex Cathedra are continuing their success into 2010/11. Their dairy for the next few months looks pretty packed, have a browse through this season’s brochure to see if anything suits you.

Here’s a couple of things they’ve got going coming up;

3 September: Tallis’s Spem in alium and Alec Roth’s life-affirming 40 part Earthrise commissioned for last seasons anniversary, will be premiered at the Royal Opera House, London as part of the Deloitte Ignite Festival curated by Joanna MacGregor.

16 & 17 October: Ex Cathedra makes its debut at London’s Cadogan Hall on the 16th with a performance of Monteverdi’s 1610 Vespers by its Consort of ten outstanding young singers accompanied by His Majesty’s Sagbutts and Cornetts and the Ex Cathedra Baroque Ensemble. The concert will then move back up to Birmingham for a repeat on 17th at Birmingham Town Hall.

Birmingham based band The Destroyers are looking for someone to re-brand their image to co-inside with the release of their first full album. The 15 piece band have recently collaborated on a composition with The Dohl Blasters for the re-opening of Birmingham Town Hall, and have also been commissioned by Flatpack Festival to create new works for a celebration of cinema pioneer Waller Jeffs, to be premiered at the opening of the the festival at the Town Hall.

The Destroyers certainly are an eclectic bunch, drawing influences from a range of traditions: klezma, mariachi, ska, bhangra, Balkan Brass, celtic folk, gypsy jazz, and flamenco. The new branding will need to reflect this.
