In March 2026, Divine Art presents a stunning album of choral music from Northumberland-based composer John Casken, inspired by the region’s magnificent landscape and coastline, its changing colours, history, and poetry. The recording features Joyful Company of Singers under the direction of Peter Broadbent and reflects two years of working alongside the composer. The album features evocative and powerful settings of poems by writers, from 7th-century Northumbrian cowherder Caedmon, to George Herbert, John Donne, Robert Burns, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Sylvia Townsend Warner, Northumbrian poet Katrina Porteous, and John Casken himself. The album contains many Northumbrian connections, especially in the works written for choirs in Durham and Northumberland, including the Choir of Durham Cathedral and Newcastle Cathedral, Northern Sinfonia Chorus, and the choir John Casken himself started – Coquetdale Chamber Choir.
