Spirit of Light

 

A short film on Facebook featuring Cappella Nova with the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra directed by Tommy Smith, performing a part of his exciting new, large-scale Spirit of Light.


Echoes and Traces returned!…

for three nights during Festival-time 2017 in Edinburgh.

In September 2016, eight talented composers, seven historic Scottish locations, and twelve wonderful voices from Cappella Nova all came together to celebrate the medieval Orcadian Hymn to St Magnus!



Christmas 2017! – a fantastic seasonal event…

Cappella Nova collaborated with the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra and celebrated jazz vocalist Kurt Elling in Spirit of Light: a celebration in music and song combining the sacred and the secular in an illuminating new work composed by Tommy Smith, and inspired by the seasonal iconography of the Star, Three Kings, Christmas Night, Winter Snow and the dawning of Christmas Day, it features settings of poetry by eminently humanitarian writers, Rainer Maria Rilke, Norman MacCaig, Robert Frost, Franz Wright, Jim Heylen and St. Francis of Assisi.
