Featuring Sospiri, one of Oxford s finest choirs.
About the Artist
Sospiri was founded in 2006 by Christopher Watson and John Duggan after they met singing in Magdala, the inspirational choir founded by David Skinner at Magdalen College, Oxford. Uniquely, Sospiri is run by a composer and a professional singer, whose shared experiences provide a dynamic and diverse atmosphere in which to make music.
