Biographie Recordare & Harry Bradford
Recordare
Co-founded by Harry Bradford, Kirsty O’Neill and Danni O’Neill in 2018, Recordare brings together some of the UK’s finest professional choral singers. Our work is driven not only by precision and excellence, but by a deep commitment to moving performances, vibrant storytelling, and genuine connection — both within the ensemble and with our audiences. With roots in Genesis Sixteen and the Royal Academy of Music, many of our singers are also established soloists in both oratorio and opera. We recently recorded our debut album, Ever Changing Skies, with Resonus Classics, due for release on the 18th of September 2026 — a project that reflects our passion for fresh perspectives and new commissions alongside cherished repertoire.
The size of the group varies depending on the musical demands of the project and this flexible structure allows the group to offer a varied musical palette from intimate, solo voice programmes right up to the larger scale choral/orchestral works. The group performs most regularly as a 12 - 18 voice chamber choir, which lends itself well to the various different musical demands of the group’s innovative programmes.
Recordare is in demand for Festival and Concert Series appearances across the UK. Previous performances have included Hatfield House Music Festival, alongside the Britten Sinfonia, Deal Festival, Weston Music Society, Welwyn Garden Concert Club, multiple Martin Randall Travel appearances - including the ‘London Choral Day’ and the ‘Celebrating William Byrd’ festival, ‘Music Divine’ for the Islington Proms, sold out concerts of ‘Polychorality’, including Frank Martin’s ‘Mass for Double Choir’, ‘Ye Sacred Muses’ and our 5th Anniversary Concert in Holy Sepulchre Church, Holborn, as well as opening the prestigious 'Spotlight Concert' as part of The Sixteen's ‘Sounds Sublime Festival’.
Recordare have also appeared across Classic FM's social media channels with a performance of Reginald Jacques arrangement of ‘Away in a Manger' reaching over 90,000 views. This, alongside three other singles with Selber Records, can be found on Spotify and all other major streaming platforms.
In 2021, Recordare enjoyed working with the 10,000 strong Choir of the Earth (with worldwide membership) creating learning tracks and providing solos for their ‘Requiems at Home’ and ‘Christmas at Home’ projects. The group has since run a number of Come and Sing workshops for amateur singers, and is often invited to perform at weddings, funerals and other functions.
