ChoralCast is a new monthly podcast from St Martin’s Voices, exploring the rich world of choral music from the heart of London’s St Martin-in-the-Fields. Each episode brings together thoughtful conversation, and behind-the-scenes insights into the life of one of the UK’s leading professional vocal ensembles. Hosted by choir member Sophie, and featuring guest artists, composers, and conductors, ChoralCast celebrates the power of collective singing - from timeless classics of the choral tradition to bold new works shaping the sound of today. Join us each month as we delve into the stories behind the music, share reflections from our singers, and offer listeners an intimate window into the artistry and community that define choral life at St Martin-in-the-Fields.

Great Sacred Music

In this episode of ChoralCast, we turn our focus to the rich legacy of Great Sacred Music at St Martin-in-the-Fields, our weekly Thursday lunchtime series. Sophie is joined by Christine Smith, former Publishing Director of Canterbury Press, for an engaging conversation about the recently published Great Sacred Music book. Together, they explore the vision behind the series, the role it has played in shaping the interaction of words and music, and the process of bringing this publication to life. All are welcome to Great Sacred Music every Thursday at 1pm in St Martin's, or watch on St Martin’s Facebook page or on our StMartins.Digital site.

Episode Illuminations Cover

Illuminations

In this episode of ChoralCast, Sophie is joined by her friend Beth to explore St. Martin’s Voices’ Choral Discovery Concerts series - accessible, one-hour concerts designed to introduce audiences to new and lesser-known choral repertoire. They dive into the recent concert Illuminations, which featured an unusual and striking collaboration between choir and saxophone. The conversation unpacks how this pairing challenges traditional expectations of choral music, blending influences from medieval plainsong to 20th-century works, including a reimagined version of Gershwin’s Summertime. Along the way, they discuss what choral music typically sounds like, why innovation matters, and what makes these concerts approachable for newcomers. The episode also features interviews with arrangers Iain Farrington and Freddie Crowley, alongside saxophonist Huw Wiggin, offering insight into the creative process behind this unique musical experience.

Episode The National Gallery Cover

The National Gallery

In this edition of ChoralCast, Sophie meets National Gallery educator Dr Tilly Scantlebury, alongside members of St Martin’s Voices, to explore the rich dialogue between visual art and choral music. Together, they reflect on how paintings can inspire sound, atmosphere, and emotional response. Drawing connections between imagery, colour, light, and texture, they consider how choral music can mirror what we see on the gallery walls - and, in turn, reveal new layers of meaning in both art forms. Featuring conversation, musical insight, and reflections on repertoire performed in this unique setting, this episode invites listeners to experience the National Gallery in a different way: not just as a place of looking, but of listening. Do join us for our next Friday Lates [https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/events/friday-lates-st-martins-voices-manet-and-music-23-01-2026] at the National Gallery on Friday 23rd January at 6.15pm exploring the works of Edouard Manet.
