About the artist Emma Kirkby

English soprano Emma Kirkby was born 26 February 1949 and is one of the world's most renowned early music specialists. Originally, Kirkby had no expectations of becoming a professional singer. As a classics student at Oxford and schoolteacher she sang for pleasure in choirs and small groups, always feeling at home most in Renaissance and Baroque repertoire. The fact that her voice was not a particularly large one meant that her potential as a soloist was not recognised immediately. She joined the Taverner Choir in 1971 and in 1973 began her long association with the Consort of Musicke. In seeking a sound appropriate for early instruments she had enormous help from Jessica Cash in London, and from the directors, fellow singers and instrumentalists with whom she has worked over the years. Kirkby has built long term relationships with chamber groups and orchestras, in particular London Baroque, the Freiburger Barockorchester, L’Orfeo of Linz and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, and now with some of the younger groups – the Palladian Ensemble and Florilegium. In 1999 Emma Kirkby was voted Artist of the Year by Classic FM Radio listeners, and in November 2000 she received the Order of the British Empire, and in June 2007 was included in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List for appointment as a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire.
