Alice Bishop graduated in music from the University of Surrey (BMus (Hons)) and completed the Diploma in Performance Studies at Abbey Opera.
Solo engagements have included Strauss’ Four Last Songs, Beethoven’s Ah Perfido, Handel’s Dixit Dominus, Mozart’s Ch’io mi scordi di te?, Bruckner’s Mass in F Minor, Beethoven's 9th Symphony, Haydn’s Little Organ Mass, Nelson Mass and Salve Regina, Rutter’s Requiem, Mass of the Children and Feel the Spirit, Vivaldi’s Gloria and a recording of a new oratorio by Joe St Johanser. But songs and song recitals have always been at the centre of her interest in singing and she recently spent an intensive week studying song repertoire with Malcolm Martineau. In addition to preparing recitals, she recently sang the role of Pamina (The Magic Flute) for Scene Change Opera. |
Simon Marlow enjoys a busy career with frequent concert appearances in Britain and abroad. He has appeared with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, broadcasted and made several recordings. Simon has worked for many years with the Medici Quartet violist, Ivo-Jan van der Werff, with whom he has toured and recorded – most recently a disc of Britten’s Lachrymae and the Shostakovich Sonata.
Simon has also established a recital and recording partnership with the violinist Shulah Oliver, with a particular emphasis on the many marvellous works by English composers. Recently Simon took part in a Dutch project to perform and record music composed by Nietzsche which also included works by other composers inspired by his philosophy. |
Alice and Simon have been working together for several years and are now frequently on the concert platform together. Their ever-growing repertoire ranges from 16th century to contemporary music and they like to explore unusual repertoire often including forgotten gems and music by little known composers as well as more familiar treasures of the repertoire.
They often arrange their programmes around themes which gives continuity and purpose to their concerts. As a result of some of these explorations, last year they recorded a CD of songs by Respighi and others, including premiere recordings of works by James Francis Brown, Peter Fribbins and Kerry Woodward.
