It is the resident choir of one of Europe's most beautiful synagogues, the New West End Synagogue in London. In 2020, Mosaic Voices launches The Blue Book, a major new volume of choral works, arrangements and transcriptions of music from the British-Jewish tradition. Mosaic Voices' first album, The Blue Book, was released in 2018, and the group  is currently working on its second album, due out at the beginning of 2021.

​New West End Synagogue

Mosaic Voices is proud to be the resident choir of the stunning
New West End Synagogue in Bayswater, London. The foundation stone of the synagogue was laid on June 7th. 1877, and designed by architect George Audsley. Mosaic Voices sings at all regular and festival services for the synagogue.

Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, choral services at New West End are currently suspended. 

​Commissioning New Music

As part of the Blue Book Project, Mosaic Voices commissioned new works from three outstanding composers, following a call-out on BBC Radio 3 to composers across the UK  and beyond. The winning composers were Meta Cohen, Anselm McDonnell and Eamonn O'Dwyer. A fourth work was composed by our Composer in Residence Benjamin Till. The new works were premiered in concert on February 16th 2020.
