Sospiri is a small, mixed-voice choir founded by John Duggan and Chris Watson to celebrate a shared love of plainsong and polyphony. The choir sing regularly in service and in concert and have recorded two CDs. Their debut album, The Light of Unexpected Angels, is a mix of sacred and secular music and showcases a number of choral pieces by composer and founder member, John Duggan. The second album, Videte Miraculum, recorded in the wonderful acoustic of l'Abbaye Notre Dame des Dombes near Lyon celebrates Advent and Christmas with plainsong, polyphony and two special commissions by Richard Lloyd and John Duggan.
Sospiri will be recording a new CD in August and will be visiting France in December to promote and perform Videte Miraculum. They are also planning a musical journey through the Napa Valley in California to celebrate the many links between fine music and fine wines.
