JBM welcomes Eric Whitacre and the Eric Whitacre Singers in association with Music Productions
We are delighted to announce our new role as Worldwide Booking Agent for Eric Whitacre and the Eric Whitacre Singers, in association with their long standing General Managers, Music Productions Ltd.
Grammy Award winning American composer and conductor Eric Whitacre is a hugely talented and respected figure on the global music scene. Now resident in Europe, he is one of those rare figures who can move between a number of different worlds and genres easily and unselfconsciously. Widely considered to be the pioneer of virtual choirs long before they became a Covid necessity, Whitacre’s work in the choral field particularly has been boundary breaking. A widely respected conductor, Whitacre has worked with some of the leading orchestras such as the Minnesota Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Major commissions have been written for the BBC Proms, Minnesota Orchestra, Rundfunkchor Berlin, The Tallis Scholars, VOCES8, cellist Julian Lloyd-Webber and the Philharmonia Orchestra, Chanticleer, National Symphony Orchestra/Kennedy Center, Kantorei, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, National Children’s Chorus of America, The King’s Singers and LA Master Chorale. His long relationship with Decca Classica has produced several No 1 albums which have enduring success.
