Angeli Vocal Ensemble

Angeli Vocal Ensemble consists of two couples: Kate McBride and Tom Reid (soprano and bass), and Leonie Tonkin and Vaughan McAlley (alto and tenor). Each couple met in choirs directed by Douglas Lawrence. A focus of its repertoire is secular and sacred music of the sixteenth century, so the renaissance-inspired music of Vaughan McAlley suits it well.

For music on more than four parts, other equally talented friends have joined in over the years, particularly alto Niki Ebacioni. With five children between them these days, performances must be meticulously planned!
