Soprano

Welcome 

Yorkshire born singer and teacher Eleonore Cockerham began performing internationally as a soloist from the age of 12. Eleonore went on to study at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, where she studied under the tutelage of Mezzo Soprano, Louise Winter. In 2017, Eleonore was able to combine her love of performing and teaching with vocal ensemble VOCES8, after being selected to join the group as the youngest of their full time members from over 500 applicants. Touring across the globe, Eleonore enjoyed working with students of all ages and abilities, and some of her favourite performances with VOCES8 singing as a soloist and with the ensemble were at Syndey Opera House, Tokyo Opera City, Palacio de Belle's Artes, Mexico, and BBC Proms at Cadogen Hall, London. After nearly 4 years, Eleonore chose to step down as a full time member of VOCES8 in order to give more time to her family, friends, and faith.  Now as a freelance singer and teacher, Eleonore sings and teaches in a range of styles (classical, choral, jazz, folk, pop), and she now regularly sings as a member of the VOCES8 Foundation choir, Apollo5, Kantos Chamber Choir, Ensemble Altera, and frequently travels across the UK and abroad to sing as a soloist, and deliver workshops and masterclasses (please see below for upcoming performance dates). Eleonore also has plenty of recording experience featuring on several albums with VOCES8, Ensemble Altera, Jacob Collier, Sarah Beattie, Joyful Noise, and features as a soprano soloist on the soundtrack to feature film 'The Last Duel', and in season 4 of the Netflix series, 'The Crown'.  â€‹
