Mark Chambers (counter tenor)


 * You may be looking for the character from Silence in the Library''

Mark Chambers is an Irish counter tenor, the only person so credited in the history of Doctor Who and its related television programmes. He provided credited vocals on The End of Time and uncredited ones on Planet of the Ood. He thus appears on the series 4 soundtrack performing "Songs of Captivity and Freedom".

Chambers is a 1992 graduate of the Royal Northern College of Music, where he won the John Mcleod prize for male singers. He debuted We Shall See Him as He Is and The Apocalypse by John Tavener at the BBC Proms, and was in a particularly noted 21st century production of Les Boréades at the Salzburg Festival.

He has made several solo and ensemble recordings. He is particularly noted for his membership in the Binchois Consort, who are, as of 2010, under contract to Hyperion Records. When singing as part of a chorus, he has been specifically identified as an alto counter tenor.
