Will travels to Taiwan to run workshops on his new oratorio The Promise with Soochow University Alumni Chorus, as well as some of his wider catalogue, in preparation for concerts in both December 2025 and January 2026. Two sessions available on August 21st 19.00 - 21.00 and again on 25th August 19.00 - 21.00.

The Promise, commissioned for the Soochow University Alumni Chorus, is a new oratorio based around the theme of advent and is a follow on work from Will Todd’s Mass in Blue (2003) and Passion Music (2018), once again creating a powerful blend of jazz, blues and the English choral tradition.

There is a promise of a time to come

And at that time the lost will be found

And all our sorrow will be turned to joy

And at that time wars will cease

Our fragile earth will be reborn and restored to peace.
