Voices of Angels

In May 2025, The Sixteen and the Genesis Foundation presented Voices of Angels, a concert which included the world premiere of three new Genesis commissions by emerging composers.

The concert programme was based around the three commissions, which were created from a specially commissioned cycle of poems by Robert Willis entitled Angels Unawares. The three new pieces were The Call of Gideon by Ninfea Cruttwell-Reade, The Call of Isaiah by Millicent B. James, and The Song of James the Son of Zebede by Lucy Walker.

The concert took place at both St James’s Piccadilly in London and St John’s Church in Cumnock, Scotland.
