About This Event

The dynamic Jason Max Ferdinand Singers has appeared at Washington DC鈥檚 Kennedy Center and collaborated with Coldplay and Jacob Collier, who has described the experience as 鈥榯ransformative to a life-altering degree鈥�. Making its UK debut, these powerful voices present an uplifting matinee, mixing classical, jazz and gospel. Its selection includes the jazz standard 鈥楳isty鈥� and Collier鈥檚 harmonically shapeshifting 鈥榃orld O World鈥� while exploring themes of faith and freedom, not least in Woody Guthrie鈥檚 gospel-influenced song that declares: 鈥楾his land was made for you and me.鈥�
