LATIN AMERICAN BAROQUE: RITUAL 1631
Singers, harp, guitar, bajón, strings, winds and percussion revel in this colourful music sung in Latin, Spanish, Nahuatl and Quechuan – the languages of the Aztecs and Incas – as we explore this glorious fusion of musical styles from Africa, the Americas and Europe.
BACH ST MATTHEW PASSION
Betrayal, anguish, sacrifice and, above all, love. Bach’s ability to capture in music such profound human drama and personal conflict makes this one of the most powerful of all choral works.

LATEST ALBUM - GENTLE FLAME
We are thrilled to present this new album of music by Liz Dilnot Johnson in her 60th birthday year (2024), including several works written for Ex Cathedra.
UNITY
"Unity was inspired by reflecting upon my own experiences of integration" says composer Dan Ludford-Thomas. "Initially the task was to write a song inspired by the Commonwealth Games. When we invited Anderton Park Primary School it became much more meaningful to me. The children sent me their words around the theme “unity” and this inspired me to reflect upon my own experiences. It was my particular fight as a child and my call to all." This film is possible thanks to a number of funders, including Birmingham Music Education Partnership and forms part of A Creative City Project generously funded by Birmingham City Council.
