Michael Higgins is a pianist, composer and arranger, and Artistic Director of the professional chamber choir Sonoro. With a special interest in choral accompaniment, Michael is in demand with some of the leading choirs in the country, including the National Youth Choirs of Great Britain, London Voices, and the BBC Singers. As a composer and arranger he has written for Farnham Youth Choir, the National Children's Choir of Great Britain, as well as music for television, corporate films, and commercials. Michael studied piano at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, the Royal Academy of Music, London, and at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music, Budapest.
I was immediately touched by the exceptionally fine and tender
setting of Away in a manger by Michael Higgins. The lilting piano
or harp floats over arpeggio figures with occasional touches of a
gently placed seventh and ends with a haunting two-octave unison.
[...] This beautifully crafted piece would work so well with young
singers as well as adult choirs.
