Born: Liverpool, England

The English tenor, Nicholas Mulroy, was a chorister at the city's Metropolitan Cathedral and a Choral Scholar at Clare College, Cambridge, where he read Modern Languages, and a Lay Clerk at St George’s Chapel, Windsor. He is now a postgraduate scholar at Royal Academy Opera, studying with Philip Doghan and Jonathan Papp. Ian Fleming Charitable Trust and the Josephine Baker Trust supported his studies. He was a runner-up in the Elena Gerhardt Lieder Prize at the RAM, and in 2005 won the The Philip & Dorothy Green Award for Young Concert Artists.

Nicholas Mulroy is a member of I Fagiolini and the Dunedin Consort, with whom he performs and records regularly throughout Europe. Highlights include J.S. Bach's St Matthew Passion (BWV 244) in Scotland and Monteverdi Vespers in Paris. Recent solo appearances on the concert platform have included most of the mainstream oratorios: Evangelist in J.S. Bach's Johannes-Passion (BWV 245) (The Hanover Band), George Frideric Handel's Messiah in Edinburgh's Usher Hall, Berlioz L'Enfance du Christ (King’s Chapel, Cambridge Festival), and a BBC Proms debut in Monteverdi's Vespers 1610 (The King’s Consort), J.S.

Beethoven’s An die ferne Geliebte, B. Britten's Seven Sonnets of Michelangelo, L.v.

In staged excerpts he has performed Francis Poulenc’s Les Dialogues des Carmelites (le Chevalier) and Eugene Onegin (Lensky) and the title roles in Rossini’s Aureliano in Palmira and Mascagni’s L’Amico Fritz.
