Voice: Emily Burn, Victoria Couper, Clemmie Franks. www.voicetrio.co.uk
Voice, the unique female vocal trio, explores repertoire that is diverse while being complementary: performing works by Hildegard of Bingen and other early masters; traditional songs and arrangements from around the world; and newly commissioned compositions.
Formed in 2006, Voice is a regular collaborator with composers, musicians, artists, and poets. Over the years, they have devised and commissioned a number of unique and exciting projects which they have performed at festivals and venues across the UK, Europe, and the USA.
In 2013, they launched their debut album Musical Harmony “...a stunning body of work destined to prick up the hairs on the back of one´s neck“ Tim Hughes (Oxford Times & Mail).
More recently Voice collaborated with the Dufay Collective on the English Medieval album I Have Set My Hert So Hy, and also released their second album Patterns of Love in Autumn 2015, featuring live on BBC Radio 3 In Tune with Sean Rafferty, described as “beautifully rounded“.
In early 2016 they returned to the USA for their third tour, where they collaborated with world-renowned cellist Matt Haimovitz.
This year Voice look forward to performing in Janacek´s ´Diary of one who disappeared´ with Julius Drake, Mark Padmore and Anna Reinhold at West Cork Chamber Music Festival, and plan to record a new album of medieval repertoire for release later in the year following their performance at Oxford Early Music Festival.
