In mid-April, 2011, Ola spent 3 days on the Central Washington University Campus for a project in which he joined the Choir in recording 3 of his compositions. On this video, Gjeilo adds an improvised accompaniment (in a one-take rendition) to his setting of the Ubi Caritas text -- which is published as an unaccompanied piece. Because of his view that improvising is a wonderful snapshot of artists "at that moment", the project was entitled "In the Moment".  less

Video taken from a live concert performance at The Butterfield Chapel of Sarum College, Salisbury, in March 2014. Conducted by Michelle Nova. Accompanied by Celia Cologne on piano.
