A Journey Through Sound and Time

Eight voices, one sonic universe: VOCES8 is regarded as the “Rolls-Royce of British a cappella ensembles” (The Arts Desk) and delights audiences worldwide with technical brilliance and an infectious stage presence. From the Renaissance to Romanticism, from sacred works to Frank Sinatra and Simon & Garfunkel, VOCES8 moves effortlessly between styles. Versatility and the conscious celebration of the most diverse forms of musical expression are at the heart of its artistic philosophy. Gramophone magazine praises the singing as “impeccable in sound quality and balance,” while the BBC described it as a blend of “two parts King’s Singers, three parts Swingle Singers and a good dash of Bobby McFerrin.” With the program “Winter Tales,” the ensemble takes audiences on a musical journey through a winter landscape: old Advent and Christmas songs meet contemporary compositions and traditional melodies from different countries. The result is an evocative musical arc that brings the quiet magic of wintertime to life.
