The Mancunium Consort
BREAKING THE RULES
The Mancunium Consort, based in Manchester, UK, was formed in 2023 by Harry Mobbs and Joseph Taylor. The group has incurred great early success in their mission of widening the platform for Young Professionals in the North. Having recently completed their first UK tour to Kent and Banbury, they opened the ‘Live at Lunchtime’ season at The Bridgewater Hall in Spring 2024. As well as garnering a large online following through activity on all major social media platforms, the group have collaborated with various other ensembles, including a concert with Manchester Baroque in Summer 2024. The consort have been hailed as “one of the rising stars of the choral music scene” by world-renowned group The Gesualdo Six, with whom they collaborated in October 2023, and have performed at various other events around the UK, including at The Sixteen’s ‘Sounds Sublime’ festival. The group are made up of typically 8 singers who are living, studying or originally from Manchester and other Northern areas.
