Rogers Covey-Crump was a boy chorister at New College, Oxford, and later a tenor lay-clerk at St Albans Abbey. He might have made a professional career as an organist or as a singer but his vocal activity soon took prominence and over many years he worked with a variety of early music ensembles—particularly with the late David Munrow’s Early Music Consort of London, the Baccholian Singers, The Consort of Musicke, the Medieval Ensemble of London, Gothic Voices, and with the Landini, Deller and Taverner consorts.

He now spends much of the year as a member of The Hilliard Ensemble, a male-voice quartet known globally not only for its concerts and recordings of medieval and renaissance repertoire but also for its acclaimed first recordings of the vocal works of the Estonian composer, Arvo Pärt. A collaboration with the saxophonist Jan Garbarek has produced a unique fusion of styles in the highly acclaimed album ‘Officium’ and its successor, ‘Mnemosyne’. As a soloist Rogers has many recordings of baroque repertoire to his name, including ceremonial and church music by Purcell on Hyperion.
