Emotionally warm music, accessible for all
Circle is an Oxford-based choir and music collective
Our widely acclaimed first album, 'Songs from the Heart,' is available on all major platforms and on CD
A distinctive folk-choral sound.
Circle comprises seven talented singers, collaborating with a host of guest artists and instrumentalists. Our tracks have been played on Scala, BBC Radio 6 and many BBC radio stations, and the album was featured in the Guardian's list of top Christmas albums of 2020
Traditional and contemporary song
As singers we apply our choral experience to both traditional and contemporary song. Our music also features the moving and lively tones of the cello, nyckelharpa, saxophone and bassoon, not to mention the ancient and quirky 'crumhorn'. The result is a unique 'folk choral' blend that packs an emotional punch and is accessible to everyone.
The first album
In our first album, ' Songs from the Heart', we reach into early music and draw heavily on a contemporary folk and choral lexicon, showcasing a mixture of new songs and remade classics, designed to offer colour and variety. Its tracks span the British Isles and Scandinavia, and offer something for every mood and season, progressing from an ethereal, lilting summer folk to a warm, 'tub- thumping' Christmas glow.
