I am privileged to fix singers for a number of high-profile ensembles.

My Choirs

"Ruth works for London Early Opera with an unerring sense of professionalism, high level of precision and eye for detail. Her joy and enthusiasm for our performances of baroque music, our recordings, talks and new research are in abundance and she fully understands the music industry as a professional performer, fixer and manager. We are all extremely grateful".

“Polyphony, who are exemplary in Bach, did as much with the text as the vocal lines, ensuring every word registered in both chorales and complex counterpoint.”

Tim Ashley (The Guardian)

    J. S. Bach St John Passion 

  • European tour and UK performance of Fauré Requiem and Poulenc motets

Freelance Fixing

I provide singers for a variety of ad-hoc requirements. Recent freelance work includes providing 14 extra professional singers to sing with an amateur choir for a recording of Clive Osgood, conducted by Robert Lewis, for Convivium Records.

Please contact me to arrange a free meeting to discuss any fixing requirements.

Choral Extras

I set up Choral Extras as a service for amateur choirs, providing singers to fill gaps in choirs where there might be weakness due to absence.

The business has been very successful, allowing choral societies the reassurance that their concerts will be able to go ahead with seasoned professionals filling in where necessary.

“Thank you so much for all your work in supplying five fabulous and friendly singers for last night's concert..above all they had a transformative effect on the choir with great results - a memorable experience for our members! I was brought up as a chorister at St. Paul's, and know what it's like to sing with great voices. I thought the choir felt that yesterday.”

Nigel Edwards (Fordingbridge Choral Society)
