Evelyn Tubb

Evelyn Tubb (born 1954) is an English soprano and early music specialist. She is a long-time member of The Consort of Musicke. Born on the Isle of Wight, she studied at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama from 1972 to 1976.

Critical reception In 1993, The New York Times said about her singing the lower harmonies in 17th-century Italian love duets that "Miss Tubb's lower range has a huskiness that might be a deficit in other repertory, but which gives her readings of these pieces an unusual, expressive character".

In 1994, a Gramophone review of The Mad Lover said, "Evelyn Tubb has the skills of a virtuoso...It is also a kind of technical skill that is employed when she intentionally distorts, discolours and in other ways 'uglifies' the tone and the vocal line", noting her "intense and specific concentration on meaning".
