Following an incredibly competitive audition process earlier this year, we are delighted to announce our Associate Artists for the 2026-27 season. Eleanor Miles-Kingston will join us as Soprano, Tania Murphy as Alto and Harry Gant as our Tenor. Each of these singers brings something unique to Tenebrae, with their own musical voice and creative energy, and we can’t wait to start working together in September. We’re looking forward to watching them grow over the coming season, and to sharing some exciting new performances with you along the way. We’re also very pleased that Henry Montgomery will be continuing as an Associate Artist with us for a second year after a brilliant first year on the programme.

Our Associate Artist Programme is designed to nurture and support the next generation of professional choral singers. Through tailored mentoring, coaching, skills development and performance opportunities, the programme bridges the gap between training in higher education and a sustainable career in the profession. Associate Artists join Tenebrae’s world-class singers and artistic team, gaining invaluable insight into the realities of life as a freelance musician while developing the artistic, professional and entrepreneurial skills needed to thrive.
Many talented young singers face significant barriers as they begin their careers. The Associate Artist Programme helps remove those barriers, providing guidance, experience and a supportive network at a crucial stage of professional development.
If you would be interested in supporting us deliver the programme, please get in touch with Freya at [email protected]. You can play a direct role in helping exceptional emerging artists realise their potential, and your generosity will invest in the future of choral music, ensuring that the next generation of outstanding singers can flourish and contribute to the rich cultural life of the UK and beyond.
