Chasing the Night: Midwinter songs
Following one winter solstice as it unfolds across the Northern hemisphere, Echo Vocal Ensemble perform a selection of songs from five continents in the stunning setting of Birdsall House in North Yorkshire.
Midwinter has always been a unique blend of folklore, religion, magic and tradition. Just as the legend of St Nick sees a figure travel across the globe in one evening, the twelve voices of Echo will whisk you around the world, following the night as it falls in each country. Alongside traditional carols, explore the magic of pieces by Poulenc, Britten and Rachmaninov and vocal music from Canada, Uganda and Iceland, in a winter's journey that transcends time and place.
Alongside singing described as 'sparkling, poised and powerful" (The Arts Desk), expect the unexpected in an evening full of musical surprises.
"The sound experience was incredible - I don't think I've ever heard anything like it"- Audience member, London

About Echo
Echo is an acclaimed vocal ensemble that stemmed from the Genesis Sixteen Young Artist scheme. They made their St John's Smith Square debut in 2017, and have since performed at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, as Ensemble-in-Residence at Ryedale Festival and live on BBC Radio 3.
The group has quickly developed a reputation for imaginative programming and multi-disciplinary collaborations, including with poet Roger McGough, composer James MacMillan, visual artist Polly Apfelbaum and the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Echo aims to explore the full range of what ensemble singing can achieve, including improvisation and audience-immersive concert experiences, whilst achieving musical excellence at all times.
Most recently, Echo collaborated with director Tom Guthrie on a staged performance of Handel’s Messiah celebrating the history of the oratorio in Bath, and performed alongside duo ‘Ganda Boys’, reworking traditional Ugandan music for a cappella voices. In 2022, Echo announced a multi-disk partnership with the award-winning label Delphian Records.
