THE Saint Boniface Concert Society is delighted to have secured this recital at 3pm on Sunday, July 13 from a quartet of singers from this outstanding vocal ensemble.

The Corvus Consort, founded and directed by Freddie Crowley, who hails from near Chagford, self-evidently has strong local connections. The ensemble has an enviable following throughout the West Country.

The Corvus Consort is UK-based, and comprises 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 live appearances as an a-cappella ensemble, the consort focuses on producing recordings of 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 13 best recordings of the year by Gramophone Magazine, and was featured by BBC Radio Three Essential Classics across the week of release.
