Alexander Campkin
Alexander is conductor of the Arcadian Singers of Oxford University (recently dubbed ‘one of the finest choirs in Oxford’ in a review in the Cherwell newspaper), and the Minimalist Ensemble, a chamber ensemble recently founded to represent contemporary music with a focus on Minimalism (Sheldonian concert review, ‘look out for this ensemble, and a second chance to be mesmerised by their music’, Cherwell newspaper).
‘It’s a testament to the continuing appeal of minimalism that last week one hundred musicians gathered in the Sheldonian to stage a forty-minute performance of a piece that fits onto a single page of A4. This piece, Terry Riley’s In C, ended the first concert given by the new Oxford Minimalist Ensemble… look out for this ensemble, and a second chance to be mesmerised by their music’ - concert review, Cherwell newspaper
London-based choir, consisting mainly of choral scholars (past & present) at Oxford and Cambridge Universities, and students at the Royal Academy of Music
Chamber Choir based in south England, with a very active schedule of choral residencies at major Cathedrals throughout England and Europe, and performs a range of concerts throughout each year.
BBC Music Magazine: ‘The Arcadian Singers display dedication, accuracy and insight into the composers' idioms. Performance ****, Sound ****’. Recent activities have included a live broadcast of Choral Evensong on BBC Radio 3, tours to Dublin and Edinburgh, and two recordings.
