Group of singers sharing stories from the road.
Tomorrow we premiere a brand-new programme for voice and cello: a musical journey inspired by nightfall. Together with Josephine Knight, we travel through the centuries, exploring how composers have drawn inspiration from the mysterious hours of darkness 🌌

Tomorrow at St Martin-in-the-Fields.

And we’re home…

After a wonderful three weeks on the road, we’ve made it back to London to spend some time with loved ones before we get going again.

We’re taking a few days to relax at home before heading back on the road next week, this time to Germany! 🇩🇪

Singing in the desert 🌵

We’ve been soaking up some November sunshine in Phoenix for the final weekend of our US tour! Here we are on stage at the Camelback Bible Church, nestled in the shadow of Camelback Mountain, where last night we performed music by Palestrina and Gesualdo.

🙌 Inspired by these young musicians 🙌

We had the most wonderful time collaborating with the talented singers of the Northern Kentucky University Chamber Choir, culminating last night in a truly magical concert.

We’ve had a lovely morning contributing to the morning services here at the Park Cities Presbyterian Church. Tonight we’ll be singing again in this beautiful space, performing our ‘Lux Aeterna’ programme.

This is our last concert in Texas for the year, but we look forward to returning in 2026 🇺🇸

🚀 To polyphony and beyond 🚀

We’re on a visit to the @SpaceCenter in Houston to plot our first concert in space 👀 We’re making the most of an afternoon off before our concert at St Luke’s United Methodist Church tomorrow!

A postcard from NYC 🇺🇸

We’ve had a wonderful start to our US tour with three concerts across the Northeast!

Today we’re on the move for the next leg of our tour, which takes us to Memphis, TN, before three concerts in Texas — Houston, Austin and Dallas.

Our first concert in Birmingham!

For a group that began in Cambridge, it feels improbable that we’d have performed in Birmingham, Alabama before Birmingham, UK. Yesterday, we finally put that right with a wonderful concert at the University of Birmingham.

A packed-out Wigmore Hall!

It was a treat to be back at Wigmore Hall this afternoon to perform our Radiant Dawn programme with Matilda Lloyd. Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate the release of our latest album! 💿

We performed FOUR concerts in one day on a tour of Cambridgeshire villages this weekend. From the early Renaissance, with works by Du Fay and Binchois in Girton and Fulbourn, through to Palestrina in Fen Ditton, culminating with music by our namesake in Grantchester.

Tomorrow we return ‘home’ for a four-concert tour of Cambridgeshire’s beautiful villages including Girton, Fulbourn, Fen Ditton and Grantchester. We’ll be sharing madrigals by Italian masters Palestrina and Gesualdo, alongside music by their English and European predecessors!

Cathedral Singing Day ✅

We had a wonderful time at “Lichfield for Singing” over the weekend. It’s a new initiative we’ve launched alongside the cathedral to share our love for singing with communities, and hope to take this all around the country.
September 22, 2025 at 4:44 PM
New season, new programme ✅

Yesterday we premiered our newest programme, “The English in Europe” – a collection of works exploring the cross-fertilisation of musical ideas in 15th and 16th-century Europe. It was our first time in Thornbury, a pretty town outside of Bristol.

Too early for Halloween? 👻

Yesterday we filmed the trailer for our latest immersive theatre project. Deep underneath St Martin-in-the-Fields in London we found a suitably spooky spot to film a few moments from ‘Death of Gesualdo’.

It premieres at SMITF in January and in NYC in Feb.

🎶Preparing for the season ahead!

We spent yesterday putting the finishes touches to a new programme for the 2025/26 season. We’ll be debuting “The English in Europe” in Thornbury near Bristol on Friday.

🎙️The microphones made an appearance as we recorded a little teaser for a new project 👀
September 16, 2025 at 5:14 PM
And we’re live! 🎙️✨

It was such a joy to be back in the In Tune studio, chatting (and singing!) all things Radiant Dawn with Katie Derham. 👀 Can you spot what we managed to sneak into the studio with us?

Action shot! 📸

This year we’ve performed all over France, with concerts from Toulouse to Paris. We rounded off our 2025 in France with our tenth concert of the year in Rouen last week 🇫🇷

Magnifique église!

We’re in the beautiful city of Rouen, home to many medieval churches and cathedrals.

This is Abbatiale Saint-Ouen where we spent some time enjoying its magnificent acoustic. Keep your eyes peeled for lots of content from this stunning building in the coming weeks. 👀

✨ The reviews are in… ✨

We’re thrilled by the response to “Radiant Dawn”, our latest album with the wonderful trumpeter Matilda Lloyd. This collaboration has been seven years in the making, and it means so much to see it receive such glowing reviews, including this highlight from BBC Record Review

Scaling the heights! 🏔️

We loved our stint in the mountains earlier this month. On a free morning we climbed one of the mighty mountains – a little adventure to balance the music-making! 🎶✨

Later this week we’ll be in Rouen for a performance of ‘Mirror of Time’.

Anchors away ⛵️

We’re taking the scenic route to Ireland. After 10 wonderful performances of Secret Byrd in the US last month, we can’t wait to dust off the partbooks for four shows at the Kilkenny International Festival this week 🇮🇪
