Fiammetta Fuller Gale
Director & Mezzo-Soprano
Having completed both her undergraduate and MPhil degrees in Music at Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge, Fiammetta’s research has focused on sixteenth-century Italian madrigals and the challenges presented in the process of reconstruction. Much of the group’s repertoire consists of her reconstructions of madrigals that survive in a fragmentary or incomplete state. This means that the ensemble are able to bring to life works that have not been performed for hundreds of years!
Fiammetta is a London-based Mezzo-Soprano performing regularly at churches across the city. She enjoys consort singing and recently joined the Queenes Chappell for this year’s Surrey Bach Festival. As a soloist, she has collaborated with a number of chamber choirs and choral societies, including the North Camden Chorus and Woking Choral Society.
While at university, she held a choral scholarship with the Choir of Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge. Since graduating, she has returned to sing with the choir for annual BBC Radio 3 broadcasts and album recordings, most recently Matthew Martin: Masses, Canticles, Motets (2024) and Michael Haydn: Mass & Requiem (2025).
Alongside her choral work, she has a particular interest in early opera. As a student, she performed in several opera productions, including Arnalta in Monteverdi’s L’incoronazione di Poppea (2018) and Melissa in Caccini’s La Liberazione di Ruggiero dall’isola d’Alcina (2020). Earlier this year, she took on the role of Joacim in Richmond Opera’s staged production of Handel’s Susanna.
