The British vocal ensemble VOCES8, nominated for a Grammy in 2023, is one of the world's leading groups. The popularity of the eight singers, especially among young audiences, is remarkable. Their music videos have hundreds of thousands of views and their albums have been listened to millions of times. They inspire with a convincing combination of musical ability, tonal appeal and captivating stage presence. You simply have to experience them live.

Their wide-ranging repertoire extends from pieces by the Venetian Renaissance composer Giovanni Croce to the contemporary, genre-bending American Pulitzer Prize winner Caroline Shaw. The British a cappella ensemble presents an inspiring program at Pro Arte. A selection of arrangements from pop and jazz includes swing melodies, ballads and even James Bond songs.

The London-based group tours both with their a cappella concerts and in collaboration with leading musicians, orchestras and conductors. Versatility and the celebration of different forms of musical expression are the focus. Since its foundation in 2005, VOCES8 has performed at all major festivals and in many renowned concert halls, such as the Wigmore Hall, the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, the Berlin Philharmonie, the Vienna Konzerthaus, the Sydney Opera House, the Mariinsky Theatre Concert Hall and many others.

In addition to their online work, VOCES8 can be heard regularly on albums, international television and radio. The ensemble is a Decca Classics artist and also releases under its own label, VOCES8 Records. The recording of Christopher Tin's "The Lost Birds" with VOCES8 and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra received a Grammy nomination in 2023. The latest recordings are "Home" with works by Eric Whitacre and "Seven Psalms" with music by Paul Simon.

Look forward to vocal perfection, subtle sound aesthetics and vocal artistry from a single source that touches and invites you to dream!
