A recording by Peter Jackson, of the performance on 16th June 2018 at St German's Church, Cardiff, following a day workshop to sing Spem in Alium by Thomas Tallis and Ecce Beatam Lucem by Alessandro Striggio for 40 voices. Two other pieces were also sung; Jesus Autem Transiens by Robert Wylkinson and Evening Prayer by Sheena Phillips. Approximately 80 performers from South Wales and further afield (including Yorkshire and Finland) took part. Donations from the audience went to support SENSE  a charity working with people with complex communication difficulties and their families (SENSE.org.uk).

The Welsh Camerata was formed in January 2004 to specialise in early music and music inspired by early styles and techniques under the guidance of early music specialist Andrew Wilson-Dickson. Numbers in the choir vary between around 20 and 25. By 'early music' is meant European classical music from the Baroque, Renaissance and Middle Ages. Performance technique has evolved over the centuries and singing music from earlier periods often requires quite a different approach to the material. Our specialism has led us to discover forgotten masterpieces from an incredibly rich period. Many of our performances have contained pieces no doubt performed for the first time in Wales since their composition. welshcamerata.org
