Blossom Street

The choir performs regularly on TV and radio as well as on the concert platform, and has released two critically acclaimed CDs with Naxos. Directed by Hilary Campbell, a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music, the group was formed in 2003, while the singers were studying at the University of York, and relocated to London in 2007. In 2005, Blossom Street filmed a medley of Christmas carols for BBC2, which was broadcast during the snooker final, and since then has performed nationwide and beyond. They sang to Prince Charles on ITV1 as part of his 60th birthday celebrations, and in 2009 gave their debut in Queen Elizabeth Hall as part of the Voicelab series. Recent projects include performances in Sweden, Japan and Spain as well as at the Edinburgh Fringe, regular broadcasts on Radio 4, recording projects for Resonus and Guild, several education projects and corporate, concert and festival work. They were featured in an episode of The Choir on BBC Radio 3 last December, and performed live on BBC Radio 3’s In Tune this summer. Currently, the group is working in partnership with the Royal Academy of Music, running a composition project for postgraduate students. On the concert platform, the group has performed at many of the major London venues including Wigmore Hall.

Blossom Close is an experienced close harmony group whose singers are handpicked from Blossom Street’s pool of singers, performing mostly jazz and pop a cappella arrangements, under the direction of Hilary Campbell. The ensemble has recently returned from performances in Japan, and has previously filmed for the TNT Show on Channel 4 and a social media campaign for Clintons Cards, and made adverts for sky+, HBO and Channel 5. Most recently, they filmed for 3 Mobile.
