The Fieri Consort was founded in 2012 and is made up of vibrant and skilled young ensemble singers based in London. The singers met studying on The Sixteen’s prestigious young artists programme, Genesis Sixteen and, in order to continue singing together and exploring similar musical interests, The Fieri Consort was established. Members of the consort sing with many other groups, including The Sixteen, Britten Sinfonia Voices, Tenebrae and many London churches. With programmes including music from Palestrina polyphony to contemporary Pärt or Macmillan, Fieri are a flexible ensemble, most often comprising five to eight singers to suit the requirements of the performance space.
Fieri have been selected as artists on the Brighton Early Music Live! scheme this year and will be performing in the Brighton Early Music Festival this Autumn. They have recently returned from their first international tour to Australia which you can read about in the blog. Fieri have featured on BBC Radio 3 several times, on the lunchtime concert series as well as live on ‘In Tune’ and ‘The Choir’.
Fieri is an un-conducted ensemble, often with one or two voices to a part. This makes for invigorating performances where each and every singer is vital and where all play an equal role in rehearsal and musical interpretation. The name, Fieri, means ‘to become'; a fitting title for this group of dedicated young musicians who are embarking on their professional careers.
"Stunning sound… Delicate, intricate, beautiful."
"They sang Monteverdi’s Vespers and it knocked my socks off. They might have been young, but it was very special indeed…” – Jessica Shepherd, London Renaissance Choral Concerts
“The Fieri Consort have the potential to be an exciting addition to the British music scene. Young singers who have benefited from intensive consort training, they bring with them a sense of adventure to both the familiar and neglected. I enjoyed their recent performance hugely and wish them well.” – David Clegg, Choral Manager, Gabrieli Consort
