The Carice Singers

Britain's Carice Singers have earned critical raves not only for their pure, youthful vocal sound, but also for inventive programs of mostly British music that break new ground in the repertory while remaining logically and appealingly structured. The Carice Singers were founded in 2011, jointly by many of the current members of the small choir and director George Parris, who had been friends since their late teens. The Carice Singers' name comes from that of Edward Elgar's daughter. The Carice Singers' first recording was devoted to unaccompanied choral works by Elgar. The Singers have been associated with the Naxos label and, as of 2017, had released four recordings that have drawn on new musicological research in their approaches. ~ James Manheim
