Commotio performs contemporary choral music primarily from the 20th and 21st centuries, showcasing works by younger or lesser-known composers. The choir is particularly recognised for its fine tuning, attention to detail and challenging repertoire.
The name Commotio derives from the Latin for movement/excitement.
