Eclectic Voices

Last night’s final rehearsal with the meeting of orchestra, choir and soloists, not to mention Robert Levin himself, was hard graft but sounded great. Today it’s showtime!

It seems the Barbican had a few more tickets left but we are now down to the very last 20, released this morning!

Last tickets for the show on Monday have been released. Your chance to look straight at the conductor from above the stage! Link in bio.

Aftermath of the first rehearsal of 2025. Sounding great and tickets are selling fast. Buy now as it’s going to be a sell out!

Yay 11 - Britten Ensemble - let's not forget that we'll be appearing alongside a top class chamber orchestra. Their sound will warm your Sunday afternoon.

Yay 10 (sorry I did two 7’s) - Scott Stroman. EV's director is an inspiration and driving force across the London (and beyond) music scene. Eclectic Voices' range of repertoire and adventure is all down to Scott's vision and determination. He'll be leading us on this exciting musical journey.

Yay 8 - JS Bach and Eric Whitacre - while Britten dominates our programme on 15 December, we also have pieces by other greats, ancient and living. JSB’s cantatas needs no introduction and Whitacre’s Lux Arumque will shimmer and glow. See for yourself and tell friends. Tickets in bio.

Yay 7 - Jonathan Eyers - Jono our other soloist and regular collaborator with the choir sings with "beautiful lyrical direction and depth of expression" according to Opera Today. The EV basses look on in awe!

Yay 7 - The venue - marvel at the Gothic splendour of the Union Chapel, one of North London's iconic buildings. Concerts here are special. See for yourself on 15 December. Tickets in bio.

Yay 6 - Santa Claus - Britten's St Nicholas is the central piece of the concert - it's about the 4th century saint who made a pilgrimage to Palestine, became the Bishop of Myra, an ancient city now in Turkey, before becoming the gift distributing icon of modern Christmas we know as Santa!

Yay 5 - FIVE PIECES WE SING!

Welcome Welcome to the online home of Highbury Young Singers and Middle Ground - Highbury's youth choirs.

Yay 4 - Highbury Youth Choir - EV's junior choirs are essential to what we do. These singers are the future and boy, are they good. Hear them at the concert (tickets in bio).

Yay 3. Benjamin Britten - the core of our show is two works by one of Britain's all time great composers - learning and getting to know the pieces has been huge pleasure and a great challenge. It's a lot more than knocking off a few carols!

Yay 2 - Adrian Thompson - our superstar tenor soloist Adrian, an old friend of the choir is a genuine star. Look him up - his CV is frankly incredible. We can't wait to work with him again. And did you know that as a boy Adrian worked with Benjamin Britten! Hear him sing on Dec 15. Tickets in bio.

Yay 1. The Choir - EV is a really exciting, ambitious choir. Our repertoire is diverse and varied, we take risks, we go for it and we have fun. You can get involved too. See us in action on 15 December!

It’s 12 days until our concert - Britten and Bach at Christmas (ticket link in bio). So here are the 12 ‘Yays!’ Of Christmas. 12 reasons to come to the show!
