The British vocal ensemble VOCES8 is proud to inspire people through music and to share the joy of singing. The group has performed globally in many notable venues, amongst them the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, the Cité de la Musique Paris, the Tokyo Opera City, the Sydney Opera House and the Palacio de Bellas Artes Mexico City. The ensemble worked with numerous artists such as Paul Simon, Olafur Arnalds, Bomsori Kim, The King’s Singers or the Queensland Symphony Orchestra both in concerts and the recording studio.

VOCES8 advocates for musical education for all and is the flagship ensemble of the VOCES8 Foundation. The COVID-19 pandemic gave the ensemble the impetus for reimagining its offer and building a new online audience community which creates the opportunity of interacting with classical music in a new way. Part of those initiatives are the online festival LIVE From London and the VOCES8 Digital Academy. Apart from this, the ensemble can regularly be heard on albums, on international TV and radio. VOCES8 is a Decca Classics artist and publishes under its own label as well. The recording of Cristopher Tin’s The Lost Birds together with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra was nominated for a Grammy in 2023; among the latest releases are Twenty and Nightfall.

VOCES8 works with Taylor Scott Davis as Composer-in-Residence and Jim Clements as Arranger-in-Residence. The ensemble premièred pieces commissioned by numerous well-known personalities and published revised versions of its music, original compositions and learning materials in the new digital VOCES8-Publishing as well as with E.C. Schirmer, where it publishes the VOCES8 Foundation Choral Series, and with Edition Peters.
