2016/17 season announced

It’s with great pleasure I announce Epiphoni’s 2016-17 season, starting this Sunday with a preview of our Out of the Ashes programme commemorating 350 years since the Great Fire of London. The season continues with the release of a debut CD recording on the Delphian label, our debut at the Barbican Hall (singing Mahler 2 with Kensington Symphony Orchestra) and a third appearance at St Martin-in-the-Fields, this time performing Handel’s electric Dixit Dominus.

Most dates are confirmed and ready to add to your diary. For the February and April dates, keep an eye on the website for further announcements.

We can’t wait to see you!
