Mala Punica (pomegranate), written by the leader and composer James Weeks uses the settings of the poems Song of Songs especially for the eight voices of EXAUDI. The erotic poems from the Tanach (Old Testament) fascinate through the impressive aesthetic power of EXAUDI. This song circle is framed by the instrumental composition Walled Garden. EXAUDI is one of the worlds leading vocal ensembles for new music. Founded by James Weeks (director) and Juliet Fraser (soprano) in 2002, EXAUDI is based in London and draws its singers from among the UKs brightest vocal talents.
