Andrew Hallock

… is a Netherlands-based vocalist and researcher. A large portion of the year sees him on the road, attending conferences and performing vocal polyphony in a wide variety of settings. As a specialist in 16th century style, repertoire, and technique Andrew sings with the Dutch polyphony ensemble Cappella Pratensis and the Belgian art-ensemble graindelavoix, having recorded a number of award-winning albums with both groups. Most recently Cappella Pratensis received the Classical Grammophone “recording of the year” for its CD, Missa Maria Zart by Jacob Obrecht. In 2022, Graindelavoix’s CD “Josquin the Undead” also won the “Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik.” Writing has grown out of Andrew’s work in the contemporary early music scene, in order to explore our own interactions with the musical past, and to make bold and adventurous connections with other disciplines. Current projects include a scholarly article on canons, encrypted music and anamorphosis, as well as a mixed-media art book. Andrew draws on nearly 20 years of professional experience to inform every aspect of this practice. Interests include the history and philosophy of science, artistic research, historical crafts, and forensic archeology. He holds degrees in music composition from the University of Texas at Austin and in vocal performance from the Royal Conservatory in The Hague, Netherlands.
