About
Kantos Chamber Choir's Delphian debut is an ambitious reimagining of the choral album as a single, immersive dreamscape.
Drifting from the profound to the playful, the familiar to the surreal, In Your Dreamsweaves together music, poetry and sonic fragments to explore sleep's many dimensions.Kantos and its artistic director Ellie Slorach have together built a reputation for boundary-pushing projects where concert programming meets theatrical storytelling: here, Shakespeare and Poe sit alongside Whitacre and Vaughan Williams, lullabies dissolve into subconscious murmurs and nonsense songs take on a dream logic of their own.
The choir's distinctive sound, shaped in Manchester's vibrant vocal scene, finds new expressive extremes in a journey through the uncharted territory between waking and sleeping, sound and silence, sense and mystery.

Awards and reviews
6th September 2025
It is a very winning combination: the (very short) spoken interludes, sound-effects of waking and sleep-talking, jump-cutting from item to item (In Your Dreams very much should be listened to straight through) and the fantastical subject matter all meld together into a powerful artistic statement. The singing is first rate and the recording made with Delphian’s usual care.
