Speciality Act #1226

The vocal ensemble, of highly trained professional singers, all in their twenties, performs a very wide range of music which is tailored to the audience or venue - from jazz and pop arrangements to close harmony to well-loved classical favourites.

A typical programme might include popular classics like Elgar’s Nimrod and Barber’s Adagio, alongside jazz standards and the theme tunes to Austin Powers and Friends. In December 2005, the group filmed a medley of Christmas carols for BBC2, which was broadcast during the snooker championship final; since then they have performed nationwide. Last November, the group sang to Prince Charles on ITV1 as part of his 60th birthday celebrations. The group was established in 2003 a lady who gained a distinction for her MA in Vocal Studies at the University of York and subsequently took up a postgraduate place at Trinity College of Music. Hilary directs the ensemble and sings soprano. Other members of the group also sing with prestigious professional choirs such as the BBC Singers and the Monteverdi Choir. Depending on your requirements, the musicians can provide between four and ten singers (typically eight) for concerts, events or private functions. The group’s versatility makes it an ideal choice for weddings; perhaps providing classical, religious or spiritual music during the ceremony and lively pop and jazz arrangements at the reception. Similarly at corporate events, the singers can either perform a range of easy listening background music or provide the main entertainment of the evening, with sparkling renditions of popular hits. Either way, this adds a unique and special feel to any function.
