On its first UK tour the Helsinki Chamber Choir presents brand new pieces as well as the contemporary classic Cries of London (1975). The first and third movement of Alejandro Viñao’s Fear were premiered in May 2017: now we finally hear the whole piece. Antti Auvinen’s music has taken a central place in the Helsinki Chamber Choir’s repertoire, while Japanese composer Malika Kishino is a new acquaintance.
