The spring is a very busy time for Eric Whitacre with events taking place worldwide. On February 1 at Cadogan Hall in London, he gave the third ever live concert with his professional choir, The Eric Whitacre Singers.  The programme, titled Inspirations, paired works by composers who influenced Whitacre’s compositions with several of his own pieces.

Also in February, Whitacre returns to the gorgeous venue of St. Michaelis in Hamburg, Germany, to work with the incredible NDR Choir and over 1000 additional singers from the area. You can take part by downloading a registration form.
