The Joy & Devotion festival, celebrating the great tradition of sacred choral music from Poland from across the centuries, returns to St Martin-in-the-Fields in November 2023. Presented by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, the festival aims to bring the rich treasures of Polish music to the UK as part of Institute's mission to share gems of Polish culture with international audiences. The Epiphoni Consort joins this year’s Joy & Devotion festival with a concert celebrating the passion and resurrection of Christ with a sumptuous selection of contemporary works on 11 November. The programme includes two works by Joy & Devotion Artistic Director, Paweł Łukaszewski, one of the most popular contemporary composers of Polish choral repertoire. Conducted by Tim Reader, the concert also features Angelus Domini by Andrzej Koszewski (1922-2015) – a composer who drew from folk music in his compositions and had a special ability to combine folk and religious influences into a moving sound world. The concert ends with Cantus gloriosus by Józef Świder (1930-2014) – a prominent, prize-winning composer who wrote more than 200 choral pieces.
