James Gilchrist began his working life as a doctor, turning to a full-time career in music in 1996. He joined the local church choir at the age of eight, and sang as a boy treble in the choir of New College, Oxford, and as a tenor in that of King’s College, Cambridge.
While studying and working in medicine, James sang in groups such as The Sixteen, The Tallis Scholars and The Cardinall’s Musick, alongside appearing regularly in choral societies up and down the United Kingdom as tenor soloist. When his diary became rather full of solo engagements, he took a month off his medical job and dipped his toes into the world of the full-time professional musician. A month soon became ten years, and despite missing many aspects of medicine, he has no regrets.
James has appeared at the BBC Proms with the Academy of Ancient Music and the Monteverdi Choir and Orchestra, and has performed with many leading orchestras and ensembles
Pavlos Carvalho has been a prize-winner in international music competitions in England, Italy (Carlo Soliva competition) Germany (Koblenz international chamber music competition) and Russia (Taneev competition). He has performed as a solo and chamber musician in venues such as the Purcell room, Royal Albert Hall, Cadogan Hall and the Teatro dal Verme, Milan and recorded for the BBC. Pavlos is one of the founding members and Artistic director of Ensemble Reza and as such is also involved in many outreach and community projects. His involvement in outreach work has seen him collaborate with projects such as Music for Life, In Harmony, Pied Piper and Live Music Now. He has a deep interest in world music.
