The English bass-baritone, composer and teacher, Angus McPhee, was Choral Scholar at York Minster (September 2010-July 2011); and Assistant Manager at All the King's Men (October 2011-September 2012). He studied music at King’s College London (2011-2014), where his passion for consort singing was inspired by David Trendell. During this time he was also a member of The Sixteen’s Genesis Sixteen training scheme under Harry Christophers, under whose baton he has subsequently gone on to perform and record. He also sang with the National Youth Choirs of Great Britain. He obtained his Master of Arts degree in Vocal Studies from the Music Royal Academy of Music in London, where he studied with Alexander Ashworth and Jonathan Papp (September 2014-July 2016).
