About English Voices

Welcome to the official website for English Voices – Choir and Opera Chorus

English Voices delivers exquisite performances from a miraculous combination of supposed opposites: a tight ensemble of virtuoso soloists, English choral tradition with European qualities, crystalline purity with warm complexity and energetic dramatisation with choral perfection.

Testimonials

In this performance under the direction of René Jacobs, English Voices made a vital contribution to its overall sonic richness…

THE GUARDIAN

le choeur, English Voices, fait preuve d’une belle cohésion sans négliger une chorégraphie parfois complexe (ils réussissent à se mêler aux danseurs sans que l’on remarque leur différence)

LE MONDE

Les choristes (excellents English Voices) ont parfaitement assimilé le travail d’un metteur en scène qui individualise la masse avec virtuosité

LE FIGARO

The richly textured effects of the divided choruses were wonderfully delivered by the high-calibre ensemble English Voices

Happy Birthday Ivor Bolton

"As Ivor Bolton approaches his birthday and we wish him a nearly-out-of-lockdown celebration, I am reminded of the times English Voices has spent singing for him over the years.   I have known Ivor ever since I arrived at Clare College in September if 1979, where I coincided with him as he studied for a BMus. Having been a brilliant organ scholar under John Rutter, he went on to become Director of Music at St James’s Piccadilly, which is where I first worked with him as a chorus master in the Lufthansa Festival. Thus began a long friendship that survives till today. " (click on the image to read more)
