Bringing the curtain down on their twentieth anniversary year, Grammy-nominated VOCES8 presents a heartwarming winter concert filled with choral treasures old and new. This beautifully curated programme takes audiences on a seasonal journey, weaving together ancient melodies, contemporary reflections and festive favourites that sparkle with nostalgia and joy.

Winter Tales

Smith Square Hall

From the Renaissance to the present day, the Christmas season has inspired composers to write some of their most picturesque and evocative music. You can experience this at this year's Christmas concerts with the DR Vocal Ensemble and honorary conductor Marcus Creed, where we will explore a wide range of musical history.

Christmas with the DR Vocal Ensemble

The Garrison Church

The Grammy Award nominated British vocal ensemble makes its Koerner Hall debut with a special Christmas concert.

Touring globally, VOCES8 performs an extensive repertory both in its a cappella concerts and in collaborations with leading musicians, orchestras, conductors, and soloists. Versatility and a celebration of diverse musical expression are central to the ensemble’s performance and education ethos which is shared both online and in person.

Voces8

The Royal Conservatory of Music

Its title referring to the ‘wondrous mystery’ of Christ’s birth, Jacob Handl’s motet, published in 1586, encapsulates a theme that welcomes music by contemporary composer Cecilia McDowall within a Renaissance programme.
