SAM COBB
SOPRANO
Sam Cobb is a British Soprano. Originally from Birmingham, Sam is currently studying for a master’s degree in Early Music Vocal Performance at the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague, having completed an undergraduate degree in Music at Royal Holloway, University of London, and a master’s degree in Musicology at the University of Birmingham.
Sam's solo engagements for 2024 include: Handel’s Messiah with Exeter Philharmonic Choir; step-outs in the Springhead Constellation Choir and Orchestra's J.S. Bach & Charpentier tour conducted by John Eliot Gardiner: Mozart’s Mass in C Minor and J.S. Bach’s Magnificat with Armonico Consort; J.S. Bach’s St John Passion with Oxford Bach Soloists; and J.S. Bach’s St John Passion with East Sussex Bach Choir.
Sam is an experienced ensemble singer, performing regularly with a number of UK-based ensembles including The Monteverdi Choir, The Sixteen, The Marian Consort, and The Choir of the Age of Enlightenment. This experience has been enriched having participated in a number of young artist opportunities including an apprenticeship with The Monteverdi Choir, a scholarship with Oxford Bach Soloists, a participant in the Genesis Sixteen programme, and as part of the Dutch National Opera's 'Young Baroque Voices' ensemble, who will form the Chorus for a production of Purcell's Dido and Aeneas in Spring 2025.
Echo Vocal Ensemble is another central aspect to Sam’s work: both singing for the group and working alongside conductor Sarah Latto to deliver their projects since its inception in 2017.
Sam has a special interest in collaborating with artists in other fields. Past inter-disciplinary projects include a long-standing association with artist Oliver Beer; as soloist in artist Ragnar Kjartansson's The Sky in a Room, with Ikon Gallery; and as soloist in a project at Sadler’s Wells titled ‘Broken Chord’ created by dancer Gregory Maqoma and co-creator Thuthuka Sibisi.
