ChoralCast with St Martin’s Voices
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.

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 at the National Gallery on Friday 23rd January at 6.15pm exploring the works of Edouard Manet.
