The 2024 Grammy award-winning nominated English a cappella octet returns for another extraordinary 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 are the Rolls-Royce of British a cappella ensembles.” (
