Centred around forward-thinking club music and experimental sounds, Mutualism functions as a label, mix series and club night with a focus on inclusivity, exploration and collaboration.

Westminster Williamson Voices

Westminster Williamson Voices

Westminster Williamson Voices has been played on NTS in shows including Under Sleepy Moon w/ Yawning Portal, featured first on 11 March 2024. Songs played include Sunrise Mass.

The Westminster Williamson Voices, conducted by founder James Jordan, is a select choral ensemble at Westminster Choir College of Rider University in Princeton, NJ.

The Westminster Williamson Voices is a highly select ensemble that emphasizes world music and the music of our time. It is named for John Finley Williamson, the founder of Westminster Choir College, who believed that choral music performed at the highest level should be accessible to all. One of America’s most respected choral conductors and educators, James Jordan is internationally recognized for his theories of rhythm pedagogy and movement, which are widely applied in teaching rhythm to children and adults.

The repertoire and performances of the Westminster Williamson Voices cover a broad spectrum, with special emphasis upon music commissioned for the choir. Artistic collaborations with other art forms-- dance, theater, and the visual arts--are at the core of the performances of this ensemble. The ensemble presents artistic repertoire of both traditional and non-traditional genres, tailored to establishing high standards of performance in choirs in churches, schools and universities.

The Westminster Williamson Voices serves as a living choral laboratory. Its primary musical mission is to explore new methods of teaching and rehearsing and to be at the forefront of choral education pedagogy. The teaching and learning of literature for performance utilize contemporary ensemble methods involving groundbreaking Aural Immersion Solfege™ and movement pedagogy emphasizing both the philosophies of Dalcroze and Laban. The ensemble also explores new avenues for the art of choral accompanying. The accompanist for the Westminster Williamson Voices assumes a new role, becoming the keystone for aural training for the choir. Consequently, its members gain valuable pedagogical tools to use in their life’s work as teachers and professional choral singers. The choir, in addition to being an artistic performing ensemble, is available to serve as an ensemble-in-residence in schools, churches, universities and professional conferences throughout the United States.

The Westminster Williamson Voices released a recording of music by British composer James Whitbourn on the Naxos label on September 6, 2011. The recording, entitled Living Voices, features Whitbourn's Son of God Mass and Requiem Canticorum with saxophonist Jeremy Powell and organist Ken Cowan. This recording marks one of many collaborations between James Whitbourn and Westminster Williamson Voices.
