Act profile

The Blossom Street Singers is a dynamic vocal ensemble comprising young professional singers, which specialises in performing a wide range of music which is tailored to the audience or venue - from jazz and pop arrangements to well-loved classical favourites. A typical programme might include popular classics like Elgar’s Nimrod and Barber’s Adagio, jazz standards, Lauridsen’s O Magnum Mysterium and the ‘Friends’ theme tune.

Established in 2003 while the members were at university together, the group was formed primarily to perform English choral music of the Twentieth Century, but has since branched out to sing anything from Bach to the Beatles and beyond! In December 2005, Blossom Street filmed a medley of Christmas carols for the snooker championship final on BBC2; since then they have performed nationwide. This month, the group performed to Prince Charles for his 60th birthday on ITV1.

Blossom Street is available for concerts, events and private functions. Depending on your requirements, the group can provide between four and eight singers. The group’s versatility makes it an ideal choice for weddings, perhaps providing classical, religious or spiritual music during the ceremony and lively pop and jazz arrangements at the reception. Similarly at corporate events, Blossom Street can either perform a range of easy listening background music or provide the main entertainment of the evening, with sparkling renditions of popular hits. Either way, this adds a unique and special feel to any function.

Recent Review : Blossom Street Singers, Hertford College Chapel, By Giles Woodforde Oxford Times July 08

'In December 2005,' Blossom Street's advance publicity announced, 'the Singers filmed a medley of Christmas carols for BBC2, which was broadcast during the snooker championship final.' This certainly didn't suggest a group that confines itself to the more rarefied areas of musical academia, and so this concert proved. Kicking off with a King's Singers arrangement of Can't Buy Me Love, the repertoire ranged through Purcell, Lassus, Finzi, Stanford, and Howells before finishing with Goodnight Sweetheart.


Blossom Street consists of eight professional singers. Apart from producing a disciplined, well-matched sound, it quickly became apparent that the group is united in the enthusiasm with which it goes about its work. The opening set of three pop classics displayed a great feeling for rhythm, while Miss Otis really did seem to be sorry in Miss Otis Regrets. Then came a change of gear, with Robert Pearsall's madrigal Lay a Garland.


Later, there was an even more arresting juxtaposition, when Lassus's polyphonic Musica Dei Donum Optimi was followed by A Whiter Shade of Pale. On paper, this should not have worked, but Blossom Street made it sound completely natural...
Elsewhere, there was an attractively romantic performance of Stanford's The Blue Bird, and a more serious note was struck by Howells's The Scribe, which demonstrated Blossom Street's expertise in floating a musical line. The Hertford College organ got a look in too, with Tom Hammond-Davies providing a beefy accompaniment to Finzi's God is Gone Up. This was an exhilarating concert.
