Claire Eadington is an active soloist and consort singer based in Oxford, known for her enthusiasm not only for her repertorial stamping ground of early polyphony, but also more generally towards thoughtful music-making of all varieties. Solo work thus far includes Bach's St. John Passion with David Crown and Oxford Baroque Soloists in Christ Church Cathedral, and the evangelist quartet in Pärt's Passio with John Potter and Stephen Varcoe in York Minster with the Szczepek Ensemble.

Prior to graduating in 2006 from St. Hugh's College, Oxford, with an honours degree in Music, Claire was a regular singer in many groups, including Schola Cantorum of Oxford, with whom she toured extensively in Central and South America, and the chapel choir of Pusey House. Since then she has recorded with Stephen Rice's Brabant Ensemble for Hyperion, and is now a Lay Clerk of The Queen's College.

When she isn't singing, Claire can be found manning the desks of Oxford University's Music and Philosophy faculty libraries, artistically administrating eight-voice a cappella outfit Blackbird, preparing publications for the Oxford Lieder Festival, and in summer working as a vocal tutor for both the Hallé Youth Choir, Manchester, and Morland Choristers' Camp.
