Genesis Sixteen singers have, this year alone, performed at the Sounds Sublime festival in St Martin in the Fields; the Chapel Royal, Hampton Court Palace, in a late night BBC Prom and at James MacMillan’s Cumnock Tryst Festival. Recent Alumni achievements include James Newby winning The Kathleen Ferrier Awards 2016; William Wallace, the London Handel Singing Competition 2016; and the Platinum Consort and Eo Nomine both being signed to agencies.  The Fieri Consort were awarded a residency at Brighton Early Music Festival and undertook a major tour to Australia.
