Once again Voces8 entertain a packed audience with an eclectic programme sung with thrilling precision and excellent presentation. 

It would seem that Easter has come early to Oslo. Friday marked the opening of the Oslo International Church Music Festival, a festival that this year is devoted to the ever-paschal theme of the passion. The opening concert was held in the Oslo Cathedral and was sung by the British vocal ensemble The Tallis Scholars.The concert focused on passion, in both senses of the word.

The last Sunday night before Christmas is traditionally an evening for carol services, but the Tallis Scholars gave a cool and stylish alternative, performing a selection of works devoted to the Virgin Mary at the Sage, Gateshead.

The Tallis Scholars enraptured a sold-out Alexander Hall at Richardson Auditorium in Princeton, living up to the high standards that audiences have set for the world-renowned ensemble. Their wide-ranging repertoire was reflected in Monday’s performance, which offered a mix of traditional pieces by composers such as Palestrina as well as contemporary works.

Teil 1 der Trias Die Wege Bachs lieferte bereits die Kombination für den Tresor zum musikalischen Paradies.

VOCES8 und Rachel Podger eröffneten mit Engelsmusik in London eine Folge festlicher Auftritte internationaler Vokalensembles.
