Join the VOCES8 Scholars Ensemble as they sing a wide-ranging programme of music from the Renaissance to today.
Whether it’s a sacred piece describing healing waters, charity and love, or a favourite James Bond song, they will leave you flying high and feeling good.
The programme title, “All Seems Beautiful“, comes from Walt Whitman’s beautiful and thought-provoking poem set to music by Eric Whitacre.
VOCES8 Scholars Ensemble is a vocal group made up of young professional singers who have previously been part of the annual VOCES8 Scholars programme.
Their work in 2025 included performances across the UK including Kings Place, London; the Solent Music Festival; ‘Gregorian Treasures’ in London and Cambridge with the Dutch ensemble Wishful Singing; and ‘Fruit of Silence’ with McNicol Ballet Collective at the Royal Academy of Music, London.
“Versatile is certainly the word for VOCES8. The award-winning a capella octet has a repertoire that stretches from early English choral pieces to jazz standards and recent pop tunes. But above all, it is the on- stage presence, character and connection with the audience that has made it so successful” — The Telegraph
