The opening concert of the 2026 Faithful Voices interfaith festival. The concert includes reflective music for remembrance day from the Jewish and Christian traditions, including favourite pieces by English composers, as well as music from the West London Synagogue and German Liberale Jewish traditions. Alongside this music, we will include spoken word elements, music for oud from Islamic and Jewish traditions, and music from the Yemenite Jewish tradition. For this concert we are joined by the professional choir of St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate, by the oud/voice duo MoRe and by cantorial soloist Yoav Oved, who is one of the Cantorial leads at New London Synagogue, and whose repertoire includes music from Yemenite and Mizrahi traditions alongside more familiar Ashkenazi melodies.
