Horizon Voices is a professional vocal ensemble and registered charity seeking to broaden musical horizons through a programme of interactive performances, education workshops and community outreach projects. Founded through a shared passion for performance, education and outreach, the ensemble aims to deliver innovative music-making events and projects for diverse audiences including families, young people and the wider community. Curating projects around particular themes encourages audiences to explore, interact with and appreciate a wide range of classical and contemporary choral and vocal repertoire. The ensemble focuses on developing a musical culture which is accessible, engaging and innovative, exploring different approaches to presenting choral music in both conventional and new contexts.

Horizon Voices participated in the 2022-23 Brighton Early Music Festival Emerging Artists Scheme and are now in demand for ensemble recitals, oratorio performances, workshops and multi-disciplinary projects across the country. They have also performed as part of The Sixteen’s Sounds Sublime Festival and participated in masterclasses with La Fonte Musica.

In 2023, Horizon Voices were awarded funding from Arts Council England to develop and deliver a hybrid performance, education and wellbeing project for the 400th anniversary of composer William Byrd, entitled Byrd: Reasons to Sing. They have recently received funding from the Simon Gibson Charitable Trust to developa new project, Elemental – a curated series of short interactive performances focusing on the elements and including commissioned arrangements of folk songs for community engagement.
