Join the VOCES8 Scholars Ensemble as they sing a wide-ranging programme of music from the Renaissance to today.
The Voces8 Scholars represent the next generation of professsional rising stars who have come through the prestigious Scholars’ programme, and regularly go on to join outstanding chamber choirs such as Apollo5, the BBC Singers, and Voces8.
The programme – from Palestrina and Tallis to Duke Ellington and Joni Mitchell – features a very attractive mix of both the venerable and the modern, and its title, “All Seems Beautiful“, comes from Walt Whitman’s lyrical and thought-provoking poem, set to music by Eric Whitacre.
The Scholars’ schedule 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.
