Sara Mohr-Pietsch

Sara Mohr-Pietsch introduces live music in the studio from young choral group Fieri. Plus the first in a series of choral classics: Tallis's Spem in Alium.

It's a new season, and a new look for The Choir as Sara Mohr-Pietsch joins the programme as regular presenter. There's live music in the studio from Fieri, eight young singers picked out by Genesis Sixteen, the first fully-funded programme to develop the very best choral performers from around the UK. Plus, the first in a series of visits to amateur choirs from around the nation, and Sara makes her pick from the range of recordings of this week's choral classics: Tallis's Spem in Alium.
