Celebrate the first 20 years of VOCES8 in a concert of their favorite and most popular pieces! Featuring music from across the centuries, they'll look back at some of the music they have grown up with and sing pieces by contemporary composers they are proud to call friends. They'll also pay tribute to their arrangers including long-time arranger-in-residence Jim Clements. 

“The singing of VOCES8 is impeccable in its quality of tone and balance,” writes Gramophone Magazine. “They bring a new dimension to the word ‘ensemble’ with meticulous timing and tuning.” The “Rolls-Royce of British a cappella ensembles” (The Arts Desk), the 2023 Grammy-nominated British ensemble brings their signature virtuosity of vocal chamber music to repertoire from early to modern.
