Ben Hancox-Lachman is a young local tenor at the start of his career
Growing up within a musical family, I started singing from an early age. As a child, I was involved in choral music both as part of a choir, but also as a soloist in works such as Handel’s Messiah, the Fauré Requiem, Bernstein Chichester Psalms, Bach St. John Passion and Mozart Requiem. I was also a prize winner in the 2017 Junior Association of English Singers and Speakers Competition.
In more recent years I have performed both as an oratorio soloist and in recitals, performing works such as the Nelson mass, and song including Schumann’s Dichterliebe, Liederkreis op.24 and Liederkreis op.39 as well as Beethoven’s An die ferne Geliebte.
In addition to singing, I am fascinated by the natural world – in particular how biology works at a fundamental level. I am now undertaking a PhD in Biochemistry at Imperial College London.
Recent engagements include the title role in Handel’s Samson, Bach’s Christmas Oratorio, and the role of Don Curzio in Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro with Harrow Opera. In August I will record Love, Friendship and Longing, a group of Tang Dynasty poems set to music by composer Nicholas Smith, and will also premier John Hawkins’ song cycle Both Beauties.
