Born in the Colorado Rockies, soprano Emily Atkinson studied at the Crane School of Music, New York and the Royal College of Music, London, and now enjoys performing both as a soloist and consort singer. She has sung with many leading consorts, including The Cardinall's Musick, Alamire, The Taverner Consort, and La Grande Chapelle, and has performed with The Tallis Scholars in hundreds of concerts across five continents. She has also appeared in the UK and abroad with period orchestras such as The Academy of Ancient Music, The English Concert, Freiburg Baroque Orchestra, and Florilegium, including performances at the Valletta Baroque Festival, Edinburgh Festival, and BBC Proms. 

Emily is proud to be a member of the City Bach Collective, carrying on a decades-long tradition of performing Bach cantatas liturgically at Lutheran services in the City of London. She is often a featured soloist with period chamber groups and has recorded a CD of Italian cantatas with Concentus VII, with Early Music Review praising her ‘beautifully controlled voice.’ She has also enjoyed singing fusion and contemporary music, including a recent performance in Morocco with Passamezzo and Sufi singer Abdou el-Haak, as well as new music by Jill Jarman with Chelys Viol Consort and world-famous percussionist, Dame Evelyn Glennie, a particular highlight for Emily, herself an amateur marimba player. 

British-Polish violinist Magdalena Loth-Hill is a passionate chamber musician and a founding member of the Consone Quartet (BBC New Generation Artists), who in 2022 were awarded a prestigious Borletti-Buitoni Trust fellowship and signed with Linn Records.

Magdalena also performs with Ensemble Hesperi - a period ensemble championing rarely heard music. Ensemble Hesperi won first prize at the 2020 London International Festival of Early Music competition, and third prize at the International Van Wassenaer Competition in Utrecht in 2021. Performing on both modern and period instruments, Magdalena is a regular player with the Academy of Ancient Music and Solomon’s Knot and has recorded for the British Library ‘Georgians Revealed’ exhibition and the ABRSM syllabus. Concerto performances include Bach’s E major concerto, Brandenburg Concerti 4 and 5 and the Bach Double Violin Concerto with the RCM Baroque Orchestra as well as the Mendelssohn and Bruch Violin Concerti with the City of Carlisle Orchestra. In 2016, Magdalena travelled to Bolivia, where her two solo recitals as Artist of the Festival, officially opened the Misiones de Chiquitos Festival.
