Part of Hancher's 53rd season
Presented in collaboration with the University of Iowa School of Music Choral Program
Funded in part by the Larry G. and Ann Howard Jones Vocal Ensemble Residency Program
A spectacular vocal ensemble shares their talents—with UI students and with the audience
The a cappella octet VOCES8 brings their inimitable sound to the Concert Hall of Voxman Music Building for a concert centered on the sounds of night. Inhabited by the moon and stars, solitude, dreams, fears, and prayers, the night has inspired centuries of exquisite poetry and music. This program features wide-ranging repertoire, including music by Venetian Renaissance composer Giovanni Croce and by contemporary cross-genre American Pulitzer Prize winner Caroline Shaw—and much more. The choir will also engage in a substantial residency in the UI’s School of Music.
“VOCES8’s gorgeous sound, impeccable ensemble and intense responsiveness to text, harmony and melodic shape is all of the highest quality. Hearing them sing is a joy.” – BBC Music Magazine
