Sam Corkin studied for a Master’s and later an
Artist Fellowship at the Guildhall School of Music
and Drama. In demand as a recitalist, Sam has
played at concert halls and cathedrals across the
country and performs annually at the Victoria
International Arts Festival in Malta. He has
collaborated with numerous choirs including the
BBC Singers as part of the Hull City of Culture.
This performance was recorded by Radio 3.
Sam’s interest in promoting new music has led
to a significant contribution to the repertoire
for solo saxophone and choir. To date, he has
commissioned and premiered over thirty
new works for this genre. His debut album,
Drop Down, Ye Heavens, was a collaboration
with acclaimed vocal group, Siglo de Oro, and reached a national audience on radio. The album
received plaudits from critics and was described
as “vividly executed” (BBC Music Magazine) and
“so invigorating” (Gramophone Magazine).
