In 2020, Emmanuel Music embarked on a new series of motet commissions from composers John Harbison, Yehudi Wyner, Kati Agócs, and Jonathan Bailey Holland to bring to BachFest Leipzig alongside a work by Omar Najmi. This series has now become part of the annual cycle of motets presented in our Sunday services at Emmanuel Church designed to reflect on the themes of the weekly cantata. Since the start of this series we have commissioned and premiered 25 new works.
