Formed in 2020, Ex Corde consists of professional singers from across the UK with diverse and successful careers, many of whom are alumni of the University of York. They use vocal music to create, collaborate and connect, bringing composers, performers, and audiences together. Alongside the obvious vocal implications, the group’s name reflects its passionate belief in making choral music – both old and new – accessible ‘from the heart’, through innovative programming and imaginative performances. The group has performed live on Radio 3 and featured in the Beverley Early Music Festival, and has worked with composers Ambrose Field, Christopher Fox and David Lancaster.
