Emma Kirkby DBE studied Classics and sang with the Schola Cantorum at Oxford. She encountered early on her special relationship with polyphony and Renaissance music and instruments. She has long lasting partnerships in Britain and abroad, with ensembles, individual players, and record companies that share her way of music-making that values ensemble, clarity and stillness above volume and display. She is a passionate teacher in numerous workshop and masterclasses and is delighted to see a new generation of singers and players bringing their skills to the endeavour.
