The Corvus Consort

Founded and directed by Freddie Crowley who hails from near Chagford, Corvus Consort is a UK-based vocal ensemble comprising some of the country’s finest young professional singers. Described as “dazzling” and “always full of fresh thinking” by BBC Music Magazine, Corvus’s combination of musical excellence, passionate performance and unstuffy presentation makes them hugely popular with audiences up and down the country.

In addition to frequent appearances as an a-cappella ensemble, the Consort places particular emphasis on its instrumental collaborations. In collaboration with the Ferio Saxophone Quartet, Corvus released its debut CD ‘Revoiced’ in 2022 on Chandos Records, followed by their critically acclaimed disc ‘Welcome Joy’, a celebration of women’s voices with harpist Louise Thomson in 2024. Their latest album was chosen as one of just thirteen best recordings of the year by Gramophone Magazine, and was featured by BBC Radio 3 Essential Classics across the week of release. Already with a strong following in the West Country, we are particularly delighted to have been able to secure this quartet of voices from the Consort for this concert.
