The Genesis Foundation is pleased to announce a new programme of commissions being premiered in both London and Cumnock by The Sixteen this May.

Alongside Harry Christophers, the renowned choir will present two “Voices of Angels” concerts – on 22 May at St James’s Piccadilly in London and on 24 May at St John’s Church in Cumnock, Scotland. The programme is based around three new Genesis Foundation commissions of a specially commissioned cycle of poems by Robert Willis entitled Angels Unawares.

The three new commissions are 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.
