Chantefable
Debuting in the David Josefowitz Recital Hall at the Royal Academy of Music in June 2023, the duo has gone on to perform around the UK and internationally at the Vilalte Music Festival in the south of France. Since their founding, they have been coached by Joseph Middleton, James Baillieu, Skip Sempé, Yvonne Kenny, Reiko Ichise, James Johnston.
Chantefable has performed for the closing recital of the Bloomsbury Festival, the Musicali-Tea series at the National Musician’s Church, the St. Mary Le Strand International Chamber Series, the Peregrine Orchestra Chamber Music Series, and many more. The duo has featured as the annual debut concert at Southwark Cathedral in 2024, as well as recitals at St Mary Abbots Church, Kensington and the Royal College of Music Museum on harpsichord. A recent favourite has been live premiering an absurdist song cycle about animals with music by Billy Cowie and poetry by Robert Desnos alongside children’s stories in Regent Hall.
Future performances include recitals at St James’s Church Sussex Gardens, St James’s Church Piccadilly and St Pancras Church, as well as the duo’s debut at the Royal Albert Hall – Elgar Room.
Chantefable is delighted to be selected as a BREMF Emerging Artists 2025/2026.
