Description
Eight voices in perfect fusion – the sound of Voces8 is potentially addictive. The British octet have designed a new programme for Beethovenfest: in keeping with the festival theme, they travel through the hometowns of composers from the Renaissance to the present. A vocal kaleidoscope of large metropolises from counterpoint to jazz.
