Founded and directed by Freddie Crowley, Corvus Consort is a UK-based vocal ensemble comprising 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 imaginative presentation makes them hugely popular with audiences nationwide. In addition to frequent appearances as an a-cappella ensemble, the Consort places particular emphasis on its instrumental collaborations. Ongoing projects include upper voices and harp with Louise Thomson, voices and saxophones with the Ferio Saxophone Quartet, and contemporary explorations of Renaissance soundworlds with instrumental duo Music on the Edge. In collaboration with the Ferio Saxophone Quartet, Corvus released its debut CD ‘Revoiced’ in 2022 on Chandos Records, which was followed by their critically acclaimed disc ‘Welcome Joy’, a celebration of women’s voices with harpist Louise Thomson in 2024.
