ALICE MARTIN
SOPRANO
Alice Martin is a Classical Soprano, currently studying her Masters in Vocal Performance at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama . She performs regularly as a concert soloist, with recent performances including Pergolesi's Stabat Mater (Cardiff Oratory 2025), Handel's Messiah (West Wycombe Chamber Choir 2025, Warwick & Kenilworth Choral Society 2024), Handel's Dixit Dominus (Welsh Camerata 2025), Dvorak's Mass in D (Llandaff Cathedral Choral Society 2025), and Stanford's Requiem (Oxford University Press Choir 2024). At the Royal Welsh College, Alice won the John Ireland Competition 2025 and she was selected to perform as the Soprano soloist in Handel's Dixit Dominus, conducted by Harry Christophers.

Alice was a young artist in The Sixteen's Genesis Sixteen programme (2023/24) where she received high-quality vocal training in chamber choir and consort repertoire. She was a member of the National Youth Choir of Great Britain (2017-2025), appearing in over 20 recordings for the NYCGB and NYCGB Fellowship, some of which feature her as a soloist. As a member of National Youth Voices, Alice has performed with the BBC Singers ("Our Living Future" 2023), London Handel Festival Singers ("Alexander's Feast" 2023), Aurora Orchestra ("Beethoven's Ninth By Heart" BBC Proms 2024), and London Voices ("Qawwali Project" 2025).

Alice is currently a Choral Clerk at Cardiff Oratory and a member of The Elgar Scholars. Recently, she has sung with the Welsh National Opera Chorus ("A Chorus Christmas" 2024), and deputised for Somerville College Choir and Contrepoint. Alice enjoys curating recitals and has organised numerous concerts across the South East, South Wales, and the West Midlands.

During her undergraduate studies, Alice was a member of Birmingham University Singers (2019-2022) conducted by Bob Chilcott, and she toured with Birmingham Voices at Birmingham Symphony Hall, the Barbican, and Bridgewater Hall. Alice also explored symphonic choral repertoire with the University of Birmingham Voices, performing Mahler's Symphony No. 8 (2020) and Stanford's Requiem at Birmingham Symphony Hall. She has also drawn from over 10 years of training in dance and drama for operatic roles; Alice played Barbarina in The Marriage of Figaro (Saluzzo Opera Academy 2021) and performed in the premiere of the chamber opera Seven Ways to Wait (Arcola Theatre 2022).
CONDUCTOR
Alice has a range of experience as a choral conductor, and she consistently aims to provide an enjoyable and enriching learning space where singers can gain confidence.

As the Musical Director of the Wycombe Orpheus Male Voice Choir (2024-2025), she brought a fresh perspective; she introduced new vocal techniques and repertoire whilst preserving the traditions of male voice choral singing that the choir have fostered for over 100 years. Alice has led numerous children's choirs both at the Royal Grammar School, High Wycombe and with the Chiltern Music Academy (2023-2024). She was the inaugural Musical Director of a musical theatre choir, developing young singers' storytelling and expression through music and movement. She also set up a close harmony group for junior singers, offering them the chance to explore a new style of singing.

Alice is continually developing her conducting through training with Sing for Pleasure (Advanced Level 2024) and attending workshops at the Royal Academy of Music with Patrick Russill (2024, 2023, 2022) and with the Inchant choir (2024). In the last year, Alice has been involved with Choir With No Name Cardiff, leading warm ups and teaching songs in the sessions.
EDUCATOR
Alice is passionate about contributing to music education for all, focusing her work in both mainstream and SEND schools. As the inaugural Graduate Music Assistant at the Royal Grammar School, High Wycombe (2022-2024), she led rehearsals for various choral and instrumental ensembles, working closely with students from across all secondary year groups. A major part of her role was to create new musical opportunities for students; she organised performances at prestiguous venues and invited professional musicians to lead workshops at the school. Alice was keen to increase the department's involvement in the local community, establishing and leading a "Come and Sing" day for visiting primary schools and coordinating student performances at charity concerts.

Alice was the first peripatetic teacher at Alfriston School, a school for those with special educational needs. She provided singing and flute lessons for small groups of students, giving pupils a space to develop their musical skills in a fun, welcoming, and dynamic environment. Alice found this to be a richly creative experience, and consequently she is more flexible and imaginative in her approach to teaching.

Alice is developing her workshop leading skills, having supported workshops at the Ark Walworth Academy (2024), the Music for Youth Festival (2023), and the London Handel Festival (2023). As the Soprano 2 Section Leader with the National Youth Choir (2021-2023), she developed her music leadership in a high-quality music making setting; more recently, she worked as an Assistant Course Manager on a National Youth Choir 9-15 course (2025).
