Edward’s working life has been a patchwork of the musical and non-musical. Before joining Dunedin Consort full time, Edward spent almost a decade working for a research and strategy boutique, advising senior figures in the world’s largest consulting firms on topics from acquisition strategy to sustainability.

Previously one of Dunedin Consort’s learning & participation managers, he was an Open Academy Fellow and is a co-founder of Hold the Drama, an Arts Council England supported group that creates immersive shows that use high-quality live music to tell stories that explore issues around mental health.

He holds degrees in Classics from Magdalen College, Oxford, and the Royal Academy of Music, where he studied as a countertenor with Michael Chance, Larry Zazzo, and James Baillieu.

Polly joined the Dunedin Consort in 2022, having previously worked on ‘the other side’ in artist management for Rayfield Allied. During her six years as an agent, she gained a broad insight into many different areas of the music industry and managed an eclectic roster of early music ensembles, vocal groups, and opera singers. Prior to this, she worked for both the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and English Touring Opera.

Polly graduated from the University of Oxford with a First Class degree in Music, where she was a choral scholar with the Choir of Merton College, Oxford and sang with Schola Cantorum of Oxford. In her spare time, she can be found running, volunteering at her local Brownie Guide unit, or being pulled along the beach by her Rhodesian Ridgeback.

Micah was introduced to the world of development after working on telephone campaigns for Bryanston School and the University of York. This led to a Graduate Development Scheme Associate role at Christ Church, Oxford. From there she took on the role of Music Trust Development Officer for Christ Church Cathedral Choir, Oxford, helping to fundraise for choral scholarships, organ scholarships, recordings, and new musical equipment.

Micah holds a Bachelor of Arts in English (First Class Honours) from the University of York, a Master of Studies in English (650-1550) from the University of Oxford and is currently a Leverhulme Trust and Balliol Dervorguilla Doctoral Scholar at Oxford working on the ‘Hearing the Page’ project under the supervision of Prof Marion Turner and Prof Helen Swift. Her research examines late medieval carols and the oral culture of the late medieval period. She has a deep interest in early music and has sung with a number of ensembles including the University of York Chamber Choir, the Rodolfus Choir, and St John’s College Chapel Choir, Oxford.

Outside of work and aside from academia, Micah is an adventure racer and writer. She has previously written lyrics for classical-crossover artists Rodney Earl Clarke and Georgi Mottram and is currently pursuing a short course in screenwriting with the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
