North Sea Voices and Orchestra, with Ely Collegium, are premièring a stunning new choral work by Dr Susannah Self at the West Road Concert Hall. Fast emerging as one of the UK’s finest choral composers, Susannah conducts two superlative choirs, accompanied by the strings of the North Sea Orchestra. In the second half, her ‘Harbour’, with solo violin played by Kayla Nicol, offers a soulful contemplation of a safe haven, while Handel’s youthful brilliance is shown off in his ‘Dixit Dominus’, a product of his early years in Italy.

Now in its fourth year of performing in the Cambridgeshire area, Norfolk-based North Sea Orchestra was founded in 2023 by Dr Susannah Self. Comprising some of the finest professional players in East Anglia, it has premièred Dr Self’s Sea Requiem, Stabat Mater and Magnificat to excellent review.

"… the cumulative effect of the score as a wonderfully cohesive whole made a lasting impression … an evening of exceptional music-making." – Paul Conway, Musical Opinion 2024

"Soloists, choir and orchestra ably conveyed the material’s freshness and warmth, while Susannah Self conducted with passion and clarity." – Paul Conway, Musical Opinion 2025

North Sea Voices has become a choir of substance and excellence under Dr Self’s guidance, and together with Ely Collegium, an elite auditioned chamber choir, they have performed in Norfolk and Ely to great acclaim.
