Guildhall A Cappella Choir - Lately feat. Liane Carroll (Stevie Wonder, arr. James Rose)

I’ve been collaborating closely with the Guildhall School of Music and Drama to introduce a unique ensemble opportunity for students. It’s a programme that - in a nutshell - performs contemporary a cappella repertoire, honing musical skills relating to vocal harmony performance & ‘ensembleship’. All of this culminates in a recording project at the end of the year, putting all these skills together.
All this to say: hope you enjoy this video of the wonderful Guildhall A Cappella Choir performing ‘Lately’, featuring the incredible Lianne Carroll. Super-thank-you to Eve Morris who co-produced this with me and Malcolm Edmonstone who helped the whole course come together.
