Distance is conceived around the theme of isolation that is due in part to the Covid-19 pandemic. Featuring the choir of the church of St. Andrew & St. Paul singing a cappella, the program explores different aspects of isolation and silence: solitude, reflection, but also determination and breaking the silence. Distance includes choral pieces ranging from Bach motets with continuo to 20th and 21st century repertoire by Samuel Barber, Edward Elgar and several contemporary composers. Distance will be released on April 2, 2021.
