about
Alisdair Hogarth - director/piano Anna Leese - soprano Jennifer Johnston - mezzo soprano Tim Mead - countertenor Andrew Staples - tenor Jacques Imbrailo - baritone The Prince Consort, founded in 2003 by British pianist Alisdair Hogarth, is an outstanding ensemble of six internationally recognized and versatile young artists: Anna Leese (soprano), Jennifer Johnston (mezzo soprano), Tim Mead (counter tenor), Andrew Staples (tenor), Jacques Imbrailo (baritone) and Alisdair Hogarth (piano). Their mission is to showcase song repertoire for different combinations of voices with piano in a fresh and innovative way. Contemporary works are an important part of their repertoire, and they have given a number of world premieres of works by composers including Ned Rorem and Stephen Hough. They were named in The Observer's Best Classical Music of 2010. It was whilst studying at the Royal College of Music (in Prince Consort Road, behind the Royal Albert Hall) in London, that the six became friends and began to perform together as an ensemble, making their debut at the Purcell Room in 2004. Since then, through the past decade, they have garnered outstanding reviews for their work, and have appeared regularly at the Wigmore Hall, the Southbank Centre and the Aldeburgh, Oxford Lieder, Cheltenham, Brighton and Perth Festivals. They have recorded two very successful albums for LINN Records - their first, On an Echoing Road (songs by Ned Rorem), was Gramophone Editor’s Choice and won an Intern
