<h1><B>the prince consort</B> - a polished and exciting vocal ensemble.</h1>
<P>
Founded by British pianist Alisdair Hogarth, the prince consort
is fast emerging as a fresh, exciting and versatile ensemble.
Their performances are characterised by wide-ranging programmes
and polished presentation, which showcase different combinations
of voice and piano, from solos to small groups.
</P>
<P>
Recent performances have included Britten’s Canticles and Tippett’s
song cycles, a programme of Ravel, Debussy and Poulenc songs, and
Schumann’s Myrten op. 25, at venues across the UK, including the
Purcell Room and St. James’ Piccadilly. The group is
enthusiastically supported by artistic advisors Neil Mackie CBE,
renowned pianists John Blakely and Roger Vignoles, and leading
EMI producer John Fraser.

<P>
Following their highly acclaimed debut recital at the Purcell
Room last year (in the Fresh Series), their future engagements
include a wide variety of concerts for British music societies
and festivals.
