Choral Dances

Since the first music was created, music and dance have been constantly entwined. From chapels and courts to cinemas and clubs, this program rejoices in choral music inspired by dance.

Juxtaposing Renaissance music with jazz and pop creates a rare mix of the ethereal and angelic, along with pure foot-tapping fun: a showcase for VOCES8’s inimitable stage presence.

he British vocal ensemble VOCES8 is proud to inspire people through music and share the joy of singing.

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

VOCES8 has performed at many notable venues in its 15-year career, including Wigmore Hall, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Cité de la Musique Paris, Vienna Konzerthaus, Tokyo Opera City, NCPA Beijing, Sydney Opera House, Mariinsky Theatre Concert Hall, Victoria Concert Hall Singapore, and Palacio de Bellas Artes Mexico City among many others.

A Journey of Discovery

f

regularly on albums, international television, and radio. Plus, it maintains a vibrant web performance presence.

The ensemble is a Decca Classics artist and alongside releases on its own label, VOCES8 Records, has released acclaimed recordings that have all reached the top of the classical charts; a major new album with Decca Classics, Infinity, was released in August 2021.

VOCES8 is passionate about music education and is the flagship ensemble of the music charity the VOCES8 Foundation. Engaging in a broad range of outreach work that reaches up to 40,000 people a year, the group runs an annual program of workshops and masterclasses at the Foundation’s home in London, the VOCES8 Centre at St Anne & St Agnes Church. Dedicated to supporting promising young singers, the group annually awards eight choral scholarships through the VOCES8 Scholars initiative. These scholarships are linked to the annual Milton Abbey Summer School at which amateur singers of all ages are invited to work and perform with VOCES8. Through the separate VOCES8 USA Foundation there is another set of talented Scholars.

VOCES8 is proud to be working with Roxanna Panufnik as the group’s Composer-in-Residence and Jim Clements as Arranger-in-Residence.

The ensemble has premiered commissions from Jonathan Dove, Roxanna Panufnik, Roderick Williams, Paul Smith, Jocelyn Hagen, Melissa Dunphy, Ken Williams, Taylor Scott Davis, Alexander Levine, Alexia Sloane, Alec Roth, Ben Parry, Ola Gjeilo, Mårten Jansson, Philip Stopford, Graham Lack, Thomas Hewitt Jones, and Owain Park.

As ambassadors for Edition Peters, the ensemble publishes educational material including the VOCES8 Method. Developed

by Paul Smith, co-founder of VOCES8, this renowned and unique teaching tool is available in four languages and adopts music to enhance development in numeracy, literacy and linguistics. Also available are two anthologies of its arrangements, and an ever-expanding VOCES8 Singles range.

Program Notes

Inspiring generations of music lovers Leading up to tonight’s concert, the singers of VOCES8 have been working closely with students and educators at Coventry High School and The University of Akron.

At The University of Akron, VOCES8’s teaching residency was supported by the School of Music’s Kulas Concert Series along with School Director Dr. Mark Reed, Manager of Special Events Patricia LaNasa, and especially Director of Choral Activities Dr. Marie Bucoy-Calavan.

At Coventry High School, VOCES8 was welcomed by Director of Choirs Julie Strebler and her students.

Thank you, all, for collaborating with Tuesday Musical to inspire generations of music lovers throughout our community.

The University of Akron School of Music’s Choral Program enables vocalists to participate in high-level music making, regardless of their major.

The Chamber Choir is the UA School of Music’s premier auditioned choir. As the flagship and touring choral ensemble for the university, the group has been invited to perform nationally, regionally, and internationally — including with The Cleveland Orchestra at Severance Hall and with the Madrigalchor at the Hochschule fur Musik und Theatre in Munich, Germany. The ensemble has worked with such nationally renowned conductors and composers as Robert Porco, Jerry Blackstone, Paul Rardin, and Jake Runestad.

The various ensembles have received superior ratings at OMEA Large Group Adjudicated Event in class AA, A, B, and C throughout the years. Coventry students have also participated in choral festivals through Kent State University and The University of Akron.

Julie Strebler, who is in her 20th year at Coventry High School, leads the choral program. She holds a bachelor’s degree in music education from Ashland University and a master’s degree in music education from Kent State University.
