Matthew Shilvock's Reflection Playlist

There is something about vocal music that speaks directly to the soul. We experience this time and time again in the opera house, but we also experience it through choral music, when it is often just the voice a cappella. This is a playlist predominantly of choral music that I started back in 2015 and have added to since - a collection of pieces that really resonate with me, and that I go back to time and time again for peace and reflection. I hope that you enjoy it!
