Voces8
Formed by ex-Choristers of Westminster Abbey, the group has been universally praised for its ability to switch effortlessly between styles and vocal colours, VOCES8 has won 13 international awards at major choral competitions in Italy, Spain and Slovenia.
Concert tours throughout Europe have gained the group considerable attention on the continent, while back at home they made their debut at the prestigious Wigmore Hall in September of last year. They have recently performed with the Philharmonia Orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall, and will embark on a US tour in March 2009.
Their love of music extends beyond the stage and into the classroom. Forming a key part of an education programme, the group works in over 90 schools teaching young Britain to sing.
The group already has two successful CD’s under their belt: ‘From Gibbons to Gershwin’, an eclectic mix of music from the last 500 years; and ‘Snowed In’, a light-hearted mix of traditional Christmas carols. Now, with Evensong, VOCES8 offers what may be the strangest Christmas offering of the year, but with its catchy melody and powerful lyric, surely the most compelling. Read more on Last.fm.
