Artist biographies
Voice is an exciting, female vocal trio. In its 18 years together, the singers have built a dedicated fan-base across the world; a rich, varied repertoire of their own arrangements, new commissions, and rarely performed early music; and they have honed a truly unique sound. Victoria Couper, Clemmie Franks and Emily Burn first began singing together in Oxford as members of the Oxford Girls’ Choir, before going on to form the trio in 2006, as well as forging their own successful, diverse careers. They draw on their individual musical interests and experiences to create thrilling timbres and a seamless blend.
Their interest in early music can be traced back to their performances and recordings of the medieval chant of St Hildegard of Bingen, which they learned as members of Stevie Wishart’s group Sinfonye. The singers still perform with Sinfonye today and, as a trio, Voice continues to perform Hildegard’s music and has commissioned new works inspired by her words and chant.
The trio has toured throughout the UK, USA and Europe with two self-released albums: Musical Harmony (2013) and Patterns of Love (2015). Collaborative releases include I Have Set My Hert So Hy (Avie, 2015) with the Dufay Collective, and a Janáček album with Nicky Spence and Julius Drake (Hyperion, 2019). Voice released its latest album, Hildegard Portraits on SOMM Recordings in June 2022. The group continues to tour its multimedia show Hildegard Transfigured, with visual artist Innerstrings.
