VOCE has its roots in the chapel of Trinity College Cambridge, where most of the current members first met, singing together under the direction of Richard Marlow. After Cambridge the group was established by its director, Jonathan Sampson, and one of its tenors, Nicholas Yates who was a chorister here at Pinner until 1991 then went up to Cambridge. VOCE largely comprises musicians who have chosen to pursue career paths outside of full-time music and includes both singers and instrumentalists in its ranks. Its versatility allows it to perform music from a wide spectrum of genres, from polyphony of the High Renaissance to twenty-first century choral works and close harmony. VOCE has performed extensively in cathedrals, churches and concert halls around the country to critical acclaim.
VOCE is directed by Jonathan Sampson. He was a choral scholar at Trinity while reading theology. As well as conducting VOCE and other groups, he performs regularly as a violinist. Jonathan is a family law barrister working from Oxford.
