Vocatio:Responsio would be nothing without the talented musicians that form its ensembles. In building on from the success of their debut season, the 2025-26 year saw the group form a core database of string players (mostly based on the previous season's work) who would be among the first choice of selection for projects.

In order for everyone to balance this extra-curricular commitment with their own studies as university students, not every player in V:R's database is selected for every concert. Rather, we work on a flexible rota that suits each individual musician in terms of how much they feel they can give to both V:R and their own work.

Our current roster of players, as well as notable soloists who are given their own separate page, can be found below.
