Penarth's Spectrum Singers participates in a groundbreaking AI choral model exhibition

The exhibition will be showcased at the Royal Park of Kensington Gardens from 4 October 2024 to 2 February 2025.

Penarth's Spectrum Singers has participated in a groundbreaking AI choral model exhibition, The Call, created in collaboration with Berlin-based artists and musicians Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst.

The innovative exhibition will be showcased at the Serpentine Galleries in the Royal Park of Kensington Gardens, London, from 4 October 2024 to 2 February 2025.

Spectrum Singers was one of fifteen choirs across the UK selected to record with the Serpentine Arts Technologies team who travelled to Wales this June to capture the ensemble’s rendition of Holly and Mat’s songbook of hymnals and tuning exercises.

‘When we designated 2024 as our Year of Synergy, we never imagined we’d be part of such an innovative project,’ said Suzanne Jones, soprano. ‘It’s the perfect expression of synergy, with visitors to the exhibition able to experience turning their own solo sound into a multi-voiced choir.’

‘Working with Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst has been inspiring,’ said Emily Scaglioni, soprano and co-director of Spectrum Singers. ‘The demands of the music were outside our usual comfort zone, and it’s a testament to the singers’ open minds as well as their musical ability that we got to grips with it.’

The Call is exhibiting at Serpentine Galleries, London between 4 October 2024 and 2 February 2025. 

If you can’t make it to London, you can hear the choir locally in concert ‘Hope is the Thing With Feathers’, a choral call-to-arms for nature conservation, at Dinas Powys Parish Hall on Friday 11 October 2024.
