  • The “Sublime Singing” (Gramophone, 2017) of Soprano Miriam Allan
    The “sublime singing” (Gramophone, 2017) of Soprano Miriam Allan has been enjoyed across the world, from her native Australia, through Japan and Singapore, as well as at festivals throughout Europe and North America. During the 2019-20 season she will perform with David Bates’ La Nuova Musica at London’s Wigmore Hall & St John’s Smith Square, reunite with Dunedin Consort for Bach’s St Matthew Passion and sing Monteverdi Vespers and Mozart’s Mass in C Minor at Cadogan Hall. 2019 has, thus far, seen her return to Australia as artist in residence at the Newcastle Music Festival, sing Iphis (Jeptha, Handel) at Trigonale Festival, perform as Emma Kirkby’s guest during the latter’s 70th birthday recital at the Wigmore Hall, and sing Handel & Corelli motets with Les Arts Florissants prior to continuing their cycle of Gesualdo Madrigals. Of her performance as Josabeth (Athalia, Handel, Pinchgut Opera) the Sydney Morning Herald said “Miriam Allan … sang with ravishing sound, limpid elegance and precision, decorating lines with stylish ornamental arabesque.” Other recent performances have seen her debut with Sir Roger Norrington and the London Philharmonic Orchestra (2nd woman, Dido and Aeneas, Purcell) as well as Bach St Matthew Passion at Wigmore Hall with Dunedin Consort and John Butt and her debut with Portland Baroque, performing Messiah. A performance of this same work was “the vocal magic of the night…she took the audience’s breath away.” (Sydney Morning Herald, 2017) Other recent highlights have included Bach cantatas at the BBC Proms, a recital of Dowland lute songs within the enclaves of Windsor Castle and performances with the Queensland Orchestra and Erin Helyard.

Introducing the Academy of Ancient Music The Academy of Ancient Music is one of the world’s leading orchestras with an illustrious heritage stretching back over 40 years. The Orchestra is pioneering in its approach to energising baroque and classical music – exploring the soundworlds of the period and performing the music with the style and spirit in which it was written. We believe in engaging deeply with our audiences and players and we do this by making our approach to music-making more relevant and appealing. We revel in the expressive power of old instruments – flutes made out of wood, trumpets without valves, strings woven from gut. Under the leadership of Music Director Richard Egarr, we perform around 50 concerts each year and work with a roster of stellar artists such as Alison Balsom, Carolyn Sampson, Jean Rondeau and Nicola Benedetti. We’ve won numerous awards for our work, including a Grammy Award, a Brit Award and four Gramophone Awards, and were selected to be part of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Pageant on the River Thames.
