The New Eden Consort is a newly formed four-part vocal ensemble, based in Greenwich, London. Its members – Grace, Niamh, Charlie and Alex – are all vocal studies students at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance.
The group originates in the conservatoire’s chapel choir at the Old Royal Naval College, where they sing twice a week in term time to complement their solo vocal studies. Their collective experience in choral singing enables them to perform with balance, nuance, and close-knit ensemble as a quartet.
The New Eden Consort perform a range of sacred and secular music, and explore works from as early as the Renaissance period to contemporary music by living composers – and everything in between. A recent highlight has been progressing to the final of the Carne Trust Chamber Music Competition at Trinity Laban, which took place in July.
Alongside their live performances, the group hope to reach a wider audience through their social media presence, with the aim to make classical music more accessible.
With grateful thanks
Evening performances at the Queen's House by Trinity Laban are kindly supported by The Rainbow Dickinson Trust.
