Its aim is to provide opportunities for young singers at the early stages of performing careers, as well as for talented musicians who have chosen not to pursue careers in the music, but wish to continue singing to a high standard. They currently comprise singers from many established choirs, including Birmingham Conservatoire Chamber Choir, Ex Cathedra, Armonico Consort, The Choir of Royal Holloway, Genesis Sixteen, Portsmouth Cathedral and York Minster. The group specialises in undiscovered or little-known British music, and in the music of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Working with its Guest Conductor, Neil Ferris, Convivium Singers have recorded two discs of contemporary choral music by Jonathan Dove (NAXOS – due March 2012) and Hugh Benham (Convivium Records – due November 2011).
Convivium Singers has given recitals in the cathedrals of Coventry, Birmingham and Portsmouth (as part of the Portsmouth Festivities), as well as in churches in and around London. The ensemble performs at an annual carol service in St. James, Piccadilly, supporting Marie Curie Cancer Care, and continues to be involved with outreach through the work of ‘Sing-Up’ in the Portsmouth diocese. In October 2011, Convivium Singers are travelling to Spain to compete in the Tolosa Choral Competition, as well as giving concerts in the local area. less
