A week in the life of: Anna Semple – Associate Artist (alto)

29 September 2023

The first week of September has come as a bit of a shock after a relatively quiet August involving holidays, a house-move and a light smattering of church work. Like most freelancers, singing (though filling most of my time) is not the only work I do. I also work as a freelance composer, and August… continued

23 August 2023

Another year is racing away, and I am grasping every opportunity for a rest these days between the many engagements our brilliant team manages to organise for us! At the end of May we were finally able to record some of the great motets by J. S. Bach, alongside some wonderfully dramatic and intense works… continued

On the big screen

We were delighted to visit London’s Abbey Road Studios last summer, for a very special recording session with the composer Simon Franglen. Simon is an iconic composer for film and contemporary music, tasked with scoring the Avatar films. We were thrilled to contribute Tenebrae’s vocals to Avatar 2 The Way of Water – which has already become… continued

Nigel shares his memories of the inspirational countertenor James Bowman, who passed away yesterday afternoon. “Immense sadness today to hear of the loss of one of my earliest musical inspirations, countertenor James Bowman.

Nigel’s Blog: March 2023

23 March 2023

It’s been quite a while since I wrote a blog, but in fairness these last 8 months or so have been action-packed. Not all of it quite the kind of action I would have wished for, but life has been anything but dull. As many of you will know, last summer I was diagnosed with… continued

US Tour Blog: Doodle in Dallas – Anna Semple

17 November 2022

Still reeling from Jenga-related highs, coaches were boarded for Dallas early on Saturday morning with the hope of arriving just in time for the consumption of an offensive amount of BBQ. Dallas did not disappoint. After what can only be described as an unholy feast for the senses, we began preparations for concert number 5… continued

US Tour Blog: Joe Blogs – Joey Edwards

11 November 2022

A missile welded to the roof of a camper van is not a usual sight to see from the tour-bus window. We overtook it on the freeway just outside Bethlehem, PA. Today, we drove about six hours from Morristown to Harrisonburg for our next concert at James Madison University. Travel days are never glamorous and… continued

After a long flight to Tampa we drove from the airport to our hotel in Orlando – usually this wouldn’t warrant a mention in the blog, but as we were driving we were treated to views of spectacular fireworks from the happiest place on earth – a nice way to start our time in the… continued
