The Hepburn Four

‘delivered with a fluid gracefulness and remarkable sense of balance and ensemble that made for exquisite sonic beauty’  The Scotsman

The Hepburn Four, formed in 2024 by choral scholars from St Salvator’s Chapel Choir at the University of St Andrews, comprises soprano Emily Kemp, alto Harriet Carlill, tenor Seb Roberts and bass Guy Minch. 

Alongside their work in the ensemble, the members of The Hepburn Four have also individually sung with many major UK ensembles, including the Voces8 Scholars, Genesis Sixteen, the Dunedin Consort, Apollo5 and the Choir of Wells Cathedral. 

Having opened the Glasgow Barons Early Music Festival and Brechin Voice Festival in 2025 to 5-star reviews, the group has just toured the UK, performing a diverse selection of music including madrigals and folk songs, as well as a world premiere of a new mass setting by tenor Seb Roberts. 

The Hepburn Four recently began working with the Gesualdo Six as part of their Emerging Ensembles Programme (2026/8). They look forward to concerts and residencies at the National Centre for Early Music and the Three Choirs Festival in the 2026/7 season.
