St Martin's Voices
Described as "almost miraculously polished" (Gramophone), St Martin's Voices is one of the UK's leading vocal ensembles, renowned for its musical versatility and clarity of sound. The choir sings for regular concerts and special events at its home in London's iconic St Martin-in-the-Fields, performing repertoire ranging from the Renaissance to new commissions from British composers. St Martin's Voices appears at concert venues across the UK and is regularly featured in broadcasts on BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio 4 and Classic FM.
Dedicated to promoting contemporary choral music, St Martin's Voices is delighted to work closely with both Bob Chilcott and Lucy Walker as Composers-in-Association. Having premiered numerous pieces by Lucy Walker, St Martin's Voices recently recorded the first album of her choral works to international critical acclaim. The choir has collaborated closely with Bob Chilcott on several projects, including the premiere recordings of his Christmas works Mary, Mother and Little Jazz Carols, and will be giving the first performance of a major new work in 2027. St Martin's Voices regularly commissions works by other composers including Yshani Perinpanayagam, Anna Disley-Simpson, Nils Greenhow, Esther Bersweden and Iain Farrington. The choir has also given the first performances of works by Will Todd, Cecilia McDowall and Thomas Hewitt Jones.

“St Martin's Voices are a really fine group of singers who are at the centre of what has become a real musical powerhouse at St Martin-in-the-Fields in London. They perform at the highest level, with commitment, warmth, and always in an unfailingly collaborative way.”
