The dynamic Jason Max Ferdinand Singers has appeared at Washington DC’s Kennedy Center and collaborated with Coldplay and Jacob Collier, who has described the experience as ‘transformative to a life-altering degree’. Making its UK debut, these powerful voices present an uplifting matinee, mixing classical, jazz and gospel. Its selection includes the jazz standard ‘Misty’ and Collier’s harmonically shapeshifting ‘World O World’ while exploring themes of faith and freedom, not least in Woody Guthrie’s gospel-influenced song that declares: ‘This land was made for you and me.’
Further works to be announced for this programme.
