Committed to new music

Since 2000, the choir has commissioned over 25 new works.

Vasari is a great supporter of contemporary music, with a reputation for seeking out new and challenging modern repertoire. We regularly commission and première works, and have made many notable world première recordings.

The choir is always looking to perform and commission new works, and is actively seeking to promote new British composing talents.

In 2020, we commissioned a new Christmas carol from Helena Paish, an exciting young composer who won the BBC Proms Inspire Competition and then went on to be the youngest composer in the BBC Seven Ages of Woman Project. The carol’s text comes from a poem by Anne Brontë entitled ‘On Christmas Morning’ and, in December that year, we made a video recording of it in lieu of the live performance we’d planned for our cancelled Christmas concert. Previous to that, 2014 saw Vasari working with British composer Jonathan Rathbone. Best known for his close-harmony Swingle Singers arrangements, Jonathan also has a deep understanding of sacred choral music (indeed, Vasari has premiered and recorded two of Jonathan’s anthems) and the première concert and subsequent CD which was released in Autumn 2015, the first recording on our VasariMedia label, were both received enthusiastically.
