CONSORT

Comprising eight to twelve professional singers – who feature regularly as soloists with Ex Cathedra – the Consort is both one of the UK’s premiere vocal consorts and the culmination of Ex Cathedra’s commitment to choral training.

It provides opportunities at the highest level for the UK’s best and emerging consort singers. Many Consort singers have, and continue to, come through Ex Cathedra’s academy system and many have gone on to pursue successful solo careers.

The Consort has performed at festivals across the UK and Europe; recent appearances include the Aldeburgh, Aranjuez, Chelsea, Lufthansa, Santiago de Compostela and St David’s festivals, plus the Malvern and Warwick concert series. It appears regularly at Dartington International Summer School, both giving concerts during the week and acting as tutors on the Vocal Chamber Music course.

The Consort records for Hyperion. It has recorded Fire Burning in Snow and Peerson: Latin Motets (2004). The group also featured prominently on Ex Cathedra’s New World Symphonies and Moon, Sun and All Things discs.
