"Sehr klar schwebt Grace Newcombes reiner,
lyrischer Sopran durch den Raum, in linearer Stimmführung" |
"in Grace Newcombes subtiler Interpretation, Triller und Melismen schmücken die lang gezogene Melodie aus, die nicht mehr nur Wort für Wort vertont."

Konstanze Führlbeck, DER WESTEN
Grace performs and records with internationally-renowned medieval-Renaissance ensembles including Ensemble Leones, ensemble Peregrina, Le Miroir de Musique, Ensemble Gilles Binchois, and La Morra.
As a researcher, Grace was recently awarded Arts and Humanities Research Council funding for her ideas on new performance practice possibilities for 12th- and 13th-century British clerical song. She is currently undertaking this project as a doctoral researcher under the supervision of professors Mark Everist (Southampton University) and Ad Putter (Bristol University).
Grace was awarded a Leverhulme Trust scholarship to study Medieval-Renaissance Performance at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. Her Schola teachers included Crawford Young, Dominique Vellard, Kathleen Dineen, Heidrun Rosenzweig and Corina Marti (among others). It was at the Schola that Grace learned to self-accompany her singing on medieval harp and keyboard. She has since completed another Schola Masters degree, with distinction, on the vocal pedagogy of Early Music.
Her musical training began at Salisbury Cathedral, where she was Head Chorister. During her childhood, she was a Junior Exhibitioner at The Royal Academy of Music in London, she achieved the highest ABRSM grades (UK Grade 8) in Organ, Piano, Voice and Clarinet, and she was named runner-up in the Sibelius National Young Film Composer of the Year awards. Following her schoolyears, Grace pursued singing and choir directing, and was awarded an Organ Scholarship at Hertford College, University of Oxford, where she studied Music and was the College choir director for three years.
