Evelyn Tubb (born 1954)[1] is an English soprano, and long-time member of The Consort of Musicke and one of the world's greatest early music specialists, known for her innovative and original performances.
Life
[edit]She originally comes from the Isle of Wight and studied piano, trumpet, violin and singing. After earning the Associate and Graduate Diploma at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 1976[1] and a B Mus at what was then Trent Park college of education, she continued working at Barclay Academy as a part time class music teacher, and formed a brass department in a girls' school in Kings Langley Hertfordshire. [citation needed] She has been a member of The Consort of Musicke, since 1978.[2] During her membership, Tubb has made many recordings and albums with lutenist/guitarist Michael Fields.[1]
She also taught at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis in Basel, Switzerland from 1997 until 2018 and continues to present masterclasses throughout the world.[3][1]
"Evelyn Tubb is a singing actress with graceful presence, alert eyes, distinct and communicative words, pure pitch, a timbre that can swell and sparkle without loosing steadiness, definite notes and fluent divisions, bold graces and adornments that ring out freely." - Opera Magazine July 1996[1]
..."a voice of extraordinary sensitivity both in nuance and colour, and an artist with no less remarkable mimetic and terpsichorean gifts". - The Musical Times September 1995[1]
