Draw On, Sweet Night
VOCES8 - Cadogan Hall
Program Info: For your ears only: dazzling singing, timeless beauty and pure showmanship as the eight singers of VOCES8 takes an evening-long journey into the music of the night.
Nobody does it better. VOCES8 is more than just a vocal octet with a dazzling difference: these eight stellar vocalists are musicians on a mission – in their own words, to ‘inspire people through music and share the joy of singing’.
And that’s exactly what they’ll be doing at Cadogan Hall, with an evening of song that ranges from plainchant to gospel and from Brahms to Bond themes – all sung with the showmanship, warmth and finesse that have made this 2023 Grammy-nominated group one of the hottest choral properties on the planet.
The theme tonight is night itself, and with VOCES8 to sing it, this will be music that glows in the dark.
