The Ebor Singers is committed to the promotion of new music and maintains strong links with composers, including Roger Marsh, Kerry Andrew and Philip Moore. The choir is also involved in encouraging composers of the future, through its association with the NCEM Young Composers Award, and work within schools, including Camden School for Girls.
Pierrot Lunnaire - Roger Marsh (2006) Roger Marsh's setting of all 50 poems by Albert Giraud (Schoenberg set only 21) began as a commission in 2001 for the Hilliard Ensemble summer school. In 2002 the entire work was performed by a large cast of singers, actors and instrumentalists at the University. The work was revised for further performance in Denmark and the subsequent NMC recording by The Ebor Singers with The Hilliard Ensemble, Juice and Red Byrd. Recording: Pierrot Lunnaire (NMC D127)
