A Cappella Octet VOCES8 Display Precision, Variety
This Tuesday evening, the world-renowned VOCES8 performed in Finney Chapel through the Artist Recital Series.
Hailing from Britain, the group has garnered an unrivaled prowess in the a cappella sphere. In the 20 years since forming, they have decidedly ventured beyond the borders of genre.
From classical to folk, jazz, and pop, virtually every style of music finds its way into VOCES8’s repertoire, as reflected in the concert’s program.
The octet began the evening with traditional selections. Their performance of Orlando Gibbons’ “O Clap Your Hands” immediately established VOCES8 as a coherent ensemble, not just eight soloists.
In escalation toward the climax, sopranos Savannah Porter and Eleonora Poignant interchanged high notes that were both delicate and empowering.
Members took turns introducing repertoire in assertively bubbly fashion.
